Juventus Visits Udinese in Serie A, Aiming to Close Gap on Top Four

Udinese is set to host Juventus in a Serie A Matchday 29 clash on March 14. The encounter will take place at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, with Maurizio Mariani officiating.

Juventus enters the match in sixth place with 50 points from 28 games played so far, while Udinese sits in eleventh position with 36 points from the same number of fixtures.

In their recent outings, Udinese has recorded one win, one draw, and three losses. Juventus, on the other hand, has managed two victories, one draw, and two defeats during the same period. Historically, Juventus holds a significant advantage with 25 wins compared to Udinese's four, alongside four draws. Their most recent meeting saw Juventus secure a 2-0 victory in the Coppa Italia on December 2, 2025.

Udinese is expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation, with key players including Maduka Okoye, Oumar Solet, and Christian Kabasele. The team will be without Nicolò Bertola, Alessandro Zanoli, and Jordan Zemura due to injury, though some are anticipated to return by the end of March.

Conversely, Juventus is likely to opt for a 4-2-3-1 tactical setup, relying on the services of Mattia Perin, Pierre Kalulu, and Gleison Bremer as essential components. The team will miss Emil Holm, who is sidelined with an injury and is expected to return in late March.
