Udinese - Juventus: should we expect a sensation?

Juventus may not be in good shape, but Udinese is not the kind of opponent, who can create big problems. The Friulians will surely sit low and will rarely make forays into counterattacks.

Udinese

Udinese have far from their best season, but while Zebras are out of the relegation zone. With 36 points, the club takes 16th place in the table, being ahead of 18th Lecce by seven points. The handicap is quite impressive and allows the team to look to the future with optimism, but there is still a theoretical chance of relegation.

Certainly Udinese lacks stability, but with the arrival of Luca Gotti, the Zebras are avoiding the protracted streak of defeats, which nearly deprived the team of a place in the elite last season. In the last round, Udinese gave a fight to Napoli, but lost 1: 2 in the last minutes, thus failing to win in the third match in a row.

Juventus

Juventus continues to hold the lead in the championship and, as such, the “old lady” has no competitors in the fight for the Scudetto. Maurizio Sarri's team is six points ahead of the second Atalanta, but at the same time they have not yet played their fight in the 35th round. Inter and Lazio are seriously behind and make mistakes on a regular basis, but theoretically the Nerazzurri can still cause problems.

After a spectacular 4-1 win in the derby over Torino, Juventus gave up serious football in the next three games. In the 31st round, the “old lady” allowed Milan to make an enchanting comeback, losing 2: 4, then points were lost in the fights with Atalanta (2: 2) and Sassuolo (3: 3), although in opposition with Bergamasks, Juve rather gained than lost.

In the last round, Juventus had no problems with Lazio. Scoring twice after the break with the efforts of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Italian champion allowed the Romans to respond with only a prestige goal in the end. Thus, the unsuccessful series was done away with, but competitors did not take advantage of these errors either.
