Juventus

Last updated: Sat 09 March 2019 07:37
In Brief

Sealed the Scudetto with 2-1 away win over Napoli. Hosting Udinese. Pjanic and Joao Cancelo banned. Douglas Costa, De Sciglio, Cuadrado and Khedira out.

Looking Back

Were put under some pressure by Napoli but took 2-goal lead before the break thanks to red card. Having lost one man too, in the second half disappeared from the game and risked being reached to a draw.

Can played well and scored. Ronaldo caused the red card for Meret. Cancelo was often outplayed by Zielinski. Bernardeschi soon disappeared from the match.

Looking Ahead

Played 16 games at home overall, winning 14, drawing 2 and losing 1, to Manchester United. Will next be hosting Udinese.

Douglas Costa, De Sciglio, Cuadrado and Khedira are out.

Pjanic and Joao Cancelo are under suspension.

Allegri is considering some rotation: Barzagli and Rugani should act in the heart of the defence and Ronaldo should be rested, with Kean up-front.

With Spinazzola at left-back, Alex Sandro, who is contending with Dybala, could be advanced as a left winger.

Points of Interest

Juventus hosted Udinese 44 times: they won 33 and drew 4, losing 7. Overall, they scored 97 goals and conceded 39. They won 6 out of the last 7.

Udinese

Last updated: Sat 09 March 2019 07:37
In Brief

Won 2-1 at home against Bologna. Travelling to Juventus. Mandragora banned. Barak, Teodorczyk, D'Alessandro, Badu, Samir and Behrami out.

Looking Back

Managed to take the lead in the first half despite Bologna domination. Reached to a draw before the break, played better in the second half and scored a winner.

Pussetto obtained a penalty kick and scored. Musso made some decisive saves. Troost-Ekong well limited Santander. Okaka was never dangerous.

Looking Ahead

Have failed to score any goals in the last 5 trips and won only once away in week 5, as they will next be travelling to Juventus. Hold 1 game in their hands.

Barak, Teodorczyk, D'Alessandro, Badu, Samir, Behrami are out.

Mandragora is suspended. Fofana will be back from ban. Nuytinck and Opoku are one yellow card away from suspension.

Sandro should be preferred to Opoku among the starters. Okaka should prevail over Lasagna in the attack. With Ingelsson in the midfield and Pussetto on the bench, De Paul would be the attacking midfielder.

As an alternative, Udinese could opt for a 4-3-3 formation.

With Ter Avest on the right flank, Larsen could be acting at inside left.

Points of Interest

Udinese failed to score in 17 out of 44 trips to Juventus, while they kept 3 clean sheets. In 4 occasions they scored more than 2 goals, while they conceded more 15 times.
