On March 14, the 29th round of the Italian championship will feature a match between Udinese and Juventus. Will the “Zebras” be able to continue their unbeaten streak?
Udinese is having a fairly typical season for themselves. After 28 rounds of Serie A, the team has accumulated 36 points, which currently puts them in 11th place in the standings. The club is separated from both 12th and 8th places by just 3 points. In the Coppa Italia, the Udine side managed to reach the round of 16, but there they lost to the same Juventus with a score of 2-0.
Juventus has shown extremely inconsistent results this season. In total, after 28 Serie A matches, the Turin side has fought for 50 points, which currently keeps them in 6th place overall.
However, the gap from the top four is minimal—just 1 point. In the Coppa Italia, the “Zebras” were eliminated immediately after their win over Udinese—Atalanta crushed them 3-0 in the quarterfinals. The Italians also performed poorly in the Champions League, where they were unexpectedly knocked out by Galatasaray in the round of 32.
