Having slipped further adrift of top spot in Serie A by drawing twice in three days, Juventus will aim to get back in the winning routine when they meet Udinese on Saturday evening.

Juventus: 

Following two frustrating draws in three days, Juventus are in urgent need of three points as they head to Udine. Defensive lapses have haunted them recently, with Bremer’s absence exposing vulnerabilities that led to a 4-4 Derby d’Italia draw with Inter and a 2-2 stalemate against Parma. With their title hopes waning, the Bianconeri now trail leaders Napoli by seven points and have a league-high 16 draws this year, showcasing a worrisome pattern. Head coach Thiago Motta is keen to halt this trend and refocus on winning, particularly with a challenging schedule ahead involving clashes against Lille and city rivals Torino.

Udinese: 

Coming off a disappointing 3-2 defeat to Venezia after surrendering a two-goal lead, Udinese aim to regroup and add to their strong record under new coach Kosta Runjaic. The Bianconeri were dealt a blow when Isaak Toure’s red card allowed their hosts to mount a comeback via two penalties, halting Udinese's promising run. Despite the setback, Runjaic has revitalized the squad, pushing them close to the league’s top spots after nearly facing relegation last season. Sitting just five points behind reigning champions Inter, Udinese are eager to replicate last season’s memorable 1-0 win over Juventus and gain momentum in their push for European qualification.

Prediction: 1-2
