Juventus-Udinese, the precedents: the Friulians have not won in Turin since 2015

Juve must immediately forget the defeat in the Super Cup against Inter, which came one step away from penalties with a goal by Alexis Sanchez following an error by Alex Sandro. The bianconeri dive back into the championship, Udinese arrives at the Allianz Stadium: on the one hand the race for Europe – Lady at -3 from the fourth place of Atalanta, who however played one game less – on the other the search of important points to avoid getting involved in the salvation struggle. The Friulians have 20 points in the standings, they are +4 from third-bottom Cagliari but have played two games less, considering the postponements against Salernitana and Fiorentina.

Juventus

Leaving aside the Super Cup, Juventus has seven consecutive useful results in the league: five wins and two draws, against Venice and Naples. In the last round, the bianconeri found incredible success on the Roma field, 4-3 after going under 1-3 at the beginning of the second half. There is a fact that testifies to the growth in Serie A of Massimiliano Allegri’s team: from the beginning of November to today, only Inter have lost fewer games (none) than Juventus in the league (one, at home against Atalanta). And from the beginning of December to today, the bianconeri have an average of 18.2 shots per game, lower only than those of Inter (20) and Napoli (18.4).

Udinese comes from a clear 6-2 defeat at home against Atalanta: the Bianconeri have not lost two games in a row in the league since September. The Friulians stopped Juventus in the first leg match – 2 to 2 at home on Matchday 1, in the last Italian appearance of Cristiano Ronaldo – but have lost nine of their last 12 matches against the Piedmontese in Serie A, with two draws and one victory. In the last five direct clashes in Turin, the victory has always come from the Old Lady, who has always scored at least two goals in this streak. Pay attention to Paulo Dybala: Udinese is the Argentine’s favorite victim among Serie A teams, with nine goals scored in 16 games.
