Juventus vs Udinese – Match Preview and Team News

Juventus Team News

Massimo Brambilla takes charge of his first match as interim manager following Igor Tudor’s sacking on Monday. Brambilla faces a challenging debut against Udinese, inheriting a struggling side that has gone eight games without a win.

The injury situation remains problematic for the hosts. Brazilian defender Gleison Bremer continues his recovery from a meniscus operation and remains sidelined. Juan Cabal is unavailable due to a thigh injury sustained against Villarreal in the Champions League.

Veteran goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio faces approximately two months out with a muscle injury. Arkadiusz Milik also remains an absentee with a calf strain, having not featured since June 2024.

Dusan Vlahovic and Jonathan David are expected to lead the attacking line after forming a partnership in the defeat to Lazio. The Serbian striker has been Juventus’ top scorer this season with four goals across all competitions. Michele Di Gregorio should return between the posts after being dropped for Mattia Perin against Lazio.

Udinese Team News

Kosta Runjaic’s side arrives in Turin with confidence after their thrilling 3-2 victory over Lecce on Saturday. The German manager has minimal injury concerns, with Danish centre-back Thomas Kristensen the only significant absentee due to a thigh problem.

Maduka Okoye will start in goal after returning from a two-month suspension for a betting-related offence. The Nigerian international has conceded three goals in his two appearances since returning but earned the backing of his manager. Keinan Davis leads the line as Udinese’s top scorer, likely partnering Nicolo Zaniolo in attack.

Form

Juventus

The Bianconeri’s form has nosedived spectacularly after winning three of their opening four matches. They have not scored in their last four games and their most recent victory came against Inter Milan on 13 September. Defeats to Como, Real Madrid and Lazio have increased the pressure, ultimately costing Tudor his job.

Udinese

Runjaic’s men have shown resilience with three wins, three draws and two losses this season. Their away form has been particularly impressive with two victories and a draw from four matches. The recent 3-2 win over Lecce ended a run of draws and lifted spirits ahead of the trip to Turin.

Predicted Lineups

Juventus: Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; Conceicao, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Koopmeiners; David Vlahovic.

Udinese: Okoye; Bertola, Kabasele, Solet; Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara; Zaniolo, Davis.
