Udinese vs Juventus – Match preview and team news Udinese and Juventus go head-to-head in Serie A at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday. After four winless matches in the Serie A, Juve bounced back with a 4-0 win against Pisa. Luciano Spalletti’s men will now want to continue their momentum with a win in this match and potentially put them back in the top four.

Udinese vs Juventus – Match preview and team news Date: Saturday, 14th March Kick-off: 7:45pm BST Venue: Bluenergy Stadium, Udine Referee: Maurizio Mariani Udinese team news Udinese are boosted by home advantage at the Bluenergy Stadium but continue to manage several injury absences in their defensive and wing-back areas. Nicolo Bertola, Alessandro Zanoli and Jordan Zemura are all expected to miss out through injury, limiting coach Kosta Runjaic’s options in the back line and on the flanks. The Friulani are likely to persist with a three-man defence and aggressive wing-backs, with Thomas Kristensen and Christian Kabasele among those set to shoulder extra responsibility in Bertola’s absence.

Udinese’s in-form striker Keinan Davis has also climbed to nine Serie A goals for the current campaign. Davis is chasing history of his own, as he would join a select group of Englishmen to reach double figures in a single Serie A season – following Tammy Abraham, David Platt and Gerry Hitchens – if he scores. Juventus team news Dusan Vlahovic, who has been sidelined since late November with an adductor injury that required surgery, is close to a return but might not be risked and is likely to miss out on the squad for this fixture.

Emil Holm is still sidelined with his calf injury while Arkadiusz Milik will also not be ready for this match although he is back in training as well. Jonathan David will once again lead the line but his place in the starting XI will definitely be under threat as and when Vlahovic is fully fit and ready to start from the kick-off. Kenan Yildiz has nine goals for the club right now and is on the verge of reaching double figures in the scoring chart.
