Serie A: Juventus vs. Udinese – Probable line-ups and where to watch on TV | OneFootball

Igor Tudor has a selection crisis that could lead him to change systems for Juventus’s upcoming Serie A match against Udinese, which is a key battle in the race for Champions League football.

There is one spot in the top four left to play for with two matches of the Serie A season left to go. Juventus are fourth ahead of kick-off, level on points with Lazio in fifth, one point above Roma in sixth and two above Bologna in seventh. All four of those teams will be involved in Serie A action at the same time on Sunday evening.

Juventus are the only team who can mathematically secure the last Champions League spot today, but that requires a Bianconeri win and for all of Lazio, Roma and Bologna to lose. If not, the Champions League race will go into the final week of the season.

Tudor is without a number of key first-team players, particularly at centre-back, which means that Juventus are expected to revert to a back four, as opposed to the 3-4-2-1 shape that the coach has typically utilised since he took over from Thiago Motta in March.

There will be no Pierre Kalulu, Nicolo Savona or Khephren Thuram through suspension, while Teun Koopmeiners as well as the long-term absentees Bremer, Juan Cabal and Arkadiusz Milik will all miss out through injury.

Fortunately for Tudor, Lloyd Kelly and Andrea Cambiaso, who had both been doubts earlier in the week, have trained regularly and are both in line to start. They are expected to be joined by Alberto Costa and Renato Veiga in a back four. Manuel Locatelli is also ready to play in defence if required.

That said, if all goes to plan, Locatelli is expected to start in midfield alongside Weston McKennie, with attacking support coming from Nico Gonzalez, Timothy Weah, Kenan Yildiz and Randal Kolo Muani. Dusan Vlahovic is expected to start among the substitutes again.

Kick-off is due at 19.45 BST.
