Juventus’ bright start to the season has quickly turned into a worrying decline. After opening with three wins, the Bianconeri have failed to secure a victory in their last eight matches (D5, L3), marking their longest winless streak since May 2009.

The latest blow came in a narrow 1-0 defeat to Lazio, extending their poor run and sealing the fate of manager Igor Tudor. Tudor’s dismissal on Monday morning came as little surprise, with the club now turning to Massimo Brambilla as interim coach.

His immediate challenge is to revive a struggling squad that has failed to score in their last three outings. Fortunately for Juventus, all those defeats came away from home.

Brambilla will look to the familiar surroundings of the Allianz Stadium, where Juventus remain unbeaten since March (W6, D3), to spark a turnaround and rebuild confidence.

Udinese poised to capitalize

Udinese travel to Turin just behind Juventus in the Serie A table, separated only by goal difference. Under Kosta Runjaić, the visitors have lost only two of their first eight league games (W3, D3), showcasing consistency and resilience.

Their thrilling 3-2 win over Lecce last weekend ended a four-match winless streak and reaffirmed their attacking intent. Udinese have also proven dangerous on the road.

Only Roma have collected more away points this season, with Udinese earning seven—including an impressive 2-1 win at Inter Milan. However, history favors Juventus.

The Bianconeri have won six of the last seven head-to-head clashes, with none seeing both sides score. Udinese have also lost nine of their last ten visits to Turin, a daunting record to overcome.

Juventus will aim to avoid a third consecutive league defeat for the first time since April 2023. Late goals may again prove decisive—four of their nine Serie A strikes this season have come after the 75th minute.

For Udinese, Kenan Yıldız’s creativity and Keinan Davis’s scoring form could shape the contest, as both sides battle to regain momentum in what promises to be a tense encounter at the Allianz Stadium.
