Juventus – Udinese

Juventus host Udinese in what promises to be a tight contest at the Allianz Stadium, with the Bianconeri sitting eighth on 7 points after two wins, a draw and a loss, and a modest 6‑4 goal difference. Udinese, currently 13th with four points from a win, a draw and a defeat and an even 5‑5 tally, will be eager to close the gap to the top half. The two sides have exchanged blows in recent meetings, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter could swing either way. Juventus will look to extend their slightly superior scoring record, while Udinese will hope to tighten up defensively and climb back into the mid‑table scramble.
