Juve in Udine, hoping to claim fourth place

Juventus head to Udine with the aim of reaching, at least temporarily, fourth place, but Udinese are looking for a prestigious win.

A victory in this game would allow Juve to overtake both Como and Roma, who face each other tomorrow afternoon at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. That is Juventus' objective as they travel to Udine in search of their second consecutive win. The hosts, however, are enjoying a good run of form after bouncing back from three defeats in a row and beating Fiorentina and drawing with Atalanta last week in Bergamo. Udinese hope to give their fans a big result and climb back into the top half of the table.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Between Kosta Runjaic and Luciano Spalletti 2nd official encounter: the only precedent in Coppa Italia this season (Juventus-Udinese 2-0, Round of 16).

Spalletti ex of the matchday: with the Friulani 55 victories, 36 draws and 42 defeats out of a total of 133 benches in official matches. The current Juventus coach managed the Friulani in a first cycle from April to June 2001, then from 2002/03 to 2004/05 with Udinese's first historic qualification to the Champions League preliminaries.

Spalletti returns to Udine for the first time since 4 May 2023: the current Juventus coach was then in charge of Napoli and, with the 1–1 draw (goals by Lovrić and Osimhen), secured the point that mathematically sealed the Scudetto.

Keinan Davis scored against Atalanta: it was the English striker’s ninth league goal of the season and his second in his last two matches. The last time he scored in back-to-back league games was with Watford in the Championship (14 and 18 March 2023).

Andrea Cambiaso scored against Pisa: it was the Italian full-back’s third league goal of the season — he has never scored as many in a single Serie A campaign.

Jérémie Boga scored against Pisa: it was the forward’s second league goal of the season and his second in his last two matches. The last time he scored in back-to-back Serie A matches was in his debut season, 2018/19 (Sassuolo–Sampdoria 3–5, Matchday 28, and Bologna–Sassuolo 2–1, Matchday 29).
