Juventus will welcome Udinese to Allianz Stadium (Juventus Stadium) in Serie A on Sunday. The hosts, currently fourth in the standings, have just a four-point lead over eighth-placed AC Milan and need to win their two remaining games to ensure a top-four finish. The Friulani are in 12th place in the league table and are set for another mid-table finish.
The Old Lady have drawn their last two league games. After a 1-1 away draw against Bologna earlier this month, they were held to another 1-1 draw by Lazio last week. Randal Kolo Muani broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, and Matías Vecino bagged a stoppage-time equalizer for Lazio.
The visitors have endured a poor run of form, winning just one of their last nine league games. Their unbeaten streak was ended after two games last week as they suffered a 2-1 home loss to Monza. Lorenzo Lucca had pulled them level in the 75th minute, but Keita Baldé Diao scored a last-gasp winner for Monza.
