Udinese vs. Juventus Serie A Match Preview

Juventus look to snap 4-match winless run, as Allegri’s side travel to face Udinese

Juventus will be aiming to end their four-match winless run in Serie A when they travel to face Udinese in the lunchtime kick-off on Sunday.

The Bianconeri have drawn their last three league matches and have slipped to eighth in the table, 10 points behind leaders Napoli.

Udinese, meanwhile, are ninth in the table and will be looking to build on their impressive 4-0 win over Fiorentina last time out.

Team news

Juventus will be without the suspended Leandro Paredes for the trip to Udinese.

Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic are both doubts, while Paul Pogba is still out with a long-term injury.

Udinese have no fresh injury concerns, with Nehuen Perez suspended.

What the managers are saying

“We need to be more clinical in front of goal,” said Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

“We're creating chances, but we're not taking them. We need to be more ruthless in the final third.”

“We're confident that we can turn things around,” said Udinese coach Andrea Sottil.

“We're playing well and creating chances. We just need to be more clinical in front of goal.”

Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but Juventus should have enough quality to edge it.

The Bianconeri have a better squad on paper and they will be desperate to end their winless run.
