Team News

Udinese
Juventus
  • Hassane Kamara and Oier Zarraga will start for the Friulani, while Gerard Deulofeu will be out for a few weeks due to another knee injury.
  • Andrea Cambiaso will be given a chance at left wing-back against Udinese, while Paul Pogba could earn a late inclusion in the matchday squad.

Prediction

  • Udinese will be hoping to replicate the flying start they had under Andrea Sottil last season, although the squad has lost some key players this summer and will be without Gerard Deulofeu in the opening weeks.
  • On the other hand, this is probably Massimiliano Allegri's last chance to win the Scudetto in his second spell with Juventus after disappointing results in Serie A as the lack of European cup games this season could slightly benefit the squad in terms of recovery and fitness.
  • This is a tricky opener for the visitors, who lack a creative player in the final third but have just enough attacking options to break down Udinese's defensive setup.
