Udinese vs Juventus Preview
- Tournament: Serie A
- Date: Saturday, November 2, 2024
- Time: 5:00 pm GMT
- Venue: Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese will host Italian giants Juventus in Serie A at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday, November 2. Udinese have had a good 2024-25 campaign so far as they sit seventh in the Serie A table. They have won five of their nine league matches, drawing one and losing the other three to accumulate 16 points. They had 37 points after 38 games last season and avoided relegation by just two points.
Udinese has been in a highly inconsistent form recently and would like to change it against Juventus, who are still unbeaten in Serie A. The former Serie A champions have four wins and five draws and sit third in the league table, five points behind leaders Napoli and one behind Inter Milan.
Juventus haven’t won the Scudetto since the 2019-20, which is a big dip considering their domination in the league. They will be desperate to get their hands again on the trophy under new manager Thiago Motta this season.

Key Players to watch in Udinese vs Juventus
Lorenzo Lucca
Striker Lorenzo Lucca joined Udinese from Pisa on loan last summer. He had a decent 2023-24 season where he scored nine goals and provided four assists in 39 games across competitions. Hence, his loan move was made permanent this year.
This season, Lucca has scored four goals in nine Serie A games for Udinese and is their highest scorer. Only four players have scored more goals than him in the league and he will be keen to add to his tally against Juventus. Overall, Lucca has scored six goals in 11 games across competitions this season.
Dusan Vlahovic
Dusan Vlahovic has been exceptional this season for Juventus. He sits third in the Serie A goalscorers chart with six goals in nine games this season. Overall, he’s scored eight goals and provided one assist in 12 games across competitions.
Vlahovic joined the Bianconeri from Fiorentina in January 2022 despite interest from numerous top clubs across Europe. He has since scored 49 goals and provided 10 assists in 113 games for the Italian giants. The Serbian striker also scored in their last match against Inter Milan and will look to keep the momentum going against Udinese.
Udinese vs Juventus Prediction
Juventus are always among the favorites to win the Serie A title and are this season as well under new manager Thiago Motta. However, while they are still unbeaten in the league, their performances have been far from convincing.
Juventus have just two wins in their last five games across competitions and none in their last two. They lost 1-0 against VfB Stuttgart at home in the UEFA Champions League before playing out a thrilling 4-4 draw against Inter Milan at San Siro.
Udinese, meanwhile, have had a see-saw in their recent results. In their last seven games, they have won every alternate game, losing the other, making it four wins and three defeats. They lost 1-0 against Milan before beating Cagliari 2-0 in their last two matches.
Notably, both sides also have mid-week matches, with Udinese facing Venezia away and Juventus facing Parma at home. Unless there are major suspensions or injuries in midweek, Saturday’s clash between Juve and Udinese should be a good one. It could end in a draw.
Predicted Score: 1-1
