Prediction: 3-1
Udinese
Juventus will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they take on Udinese on the penultimate day of the regular season. The Bianconeri were on the verge of beating Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, but the Biancocelesti eventually scored a late equalizer to grab something from the match. The hosts head into Sunday’s game with a severely-weakened squad as all Kalulu, Savona, and Thuram miss out through suspension.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, suffered a shocking loss to rock-bottom Monza at the weekend. Udinese have nothing to play for in the Allianz Stadium clash and given their negative record against Juventus, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Both Arthur Atta and Lorenzo Lucca are banned for the visiting side, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Experienced forward Florian Thauvin remains in the recovery room.
