Preview: Juventus vs Udinese

Juventus' last home game of the 2024/25 campaign sees them host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, 18 May.

Before the 20:45 CEST match-up, here's all you need to know:

Head-to-head

• It’s the 102^nd clash between Juventus and Udinese in Serie A, with 69 wins for the Bianconeri, 14 for the Friulians and 18 draws. Juventus are the team against whom Udinese have suffered the most defeats in the competition (69, at least 14 more than any other opponent - 55 against both Inter and Roma).
• Juve has won 12 of their last 15 Serie A matches against Udinese (1D, 2L), scoring an average of 2.3 goals per game in this period.
• Udinese have scored just one goal in their six most recent encounters against Juventus in the league, losing five of those matches.
• The Bianconeri have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six league games against Udinese, having failed to do so in any of their previous six.
• All of the last six goals scored in Serie A matches between Juventus and Udinese have come in the first half, after only one of the previous six goals had been scored in the first 45 minutes of play.

Interesting Facts

• Udinese are the team that Juventus have faced the most times at home in Serie A in the three-point-per-win era (since 1994/95), without ever drawing: in 28 previous fixtures, there have been 22 wins for the Piedmontese and six for the Friulians.
• Juventus are fourth in the standings with 64 points (on a par with Lazio, against whom, however, they have the advantage in their head-to-head record); the Bianconeri would be mathematically qualified for the Champions League, with one round of matches still to play, in the event of a victory against Udinese, and at the same time, should Lazio and Roma lose and Bologna fail to win.
• Juventus have drawn their last two league games 1-1 and could finish three consecutive Serie A matches at 1-1 for the first time since 2012 – against AC Milan, Chievo and Bologna in that case.
• Udinese have lost six of their last eight matches (1W, 1D) in the league - as many as in the previous 18 (6W, 6D) in the tournament - in the period (since mid-March) no team has suffered more defeats in the competition (Monza with six as well).
• Udinese have scored with 17 different goalscorers in this league - only Inter have more (19); at 17 also Parma - and could count more different goalscorers in a single Serie A season for the first time in their history (17 also in 2020/21).

Player Numbers

• Randal Kolo Muani has scored two goals in the last three league matches: among players with at least five goals in 2025, the Juventus striker is the one who has taken the fewest shots to find the back of the net: one in every three strikes on goal.
• Dusan Vlahovic has scored nine goals in his 27 matches this season and could become the second player to go into double figures in goals in each of the last five Serie A seasons (as of 2020/21) after Lautaro Martinez.
• Both Timothy Weah and Kenan Yildiz made their Serie A debuts against Udinese on 20 August 2023.
• Weston McKennie scored against Udinese in Serie A in January 2022, with eight of his 11 league goals in total coming at the Allianz Stadium.
• Manuel Locatelli is the midfielder with the most forward passes this season: 802, over 100 more than the second-placed Marten de Roon at 699.

Opposition Focus

• Udinese's Oumar Solet is the defender who has completed the most dribbles (24) in Serie A in 2025, and is second only to Jhon Lucumi (90) in the number of balls won among his teammates (84, alongside Dodo).
• The next will be both Florian Thauvin's 100th goal and 50th assist in Europe's five major leagues. At the moment, the Frenchman, who is in doubt for this match, has been involved in 148 goals, the result of 99 goals and 49 assists in Serie A.
• Alexis Sanchez made his Serie A debut against Juventus in September 2008. Against the Piedmontese, the striker scored two goals, both with Udinese, in 2010 and 2011. Overall, the Chilean has not scored in the competition for over a year (1 April 2024, with Inter against Empoli).
• Jesper Karlstrom is only one of four midfielders in this tournament to have played over 3000 minutes (3009), along with Morten Frendrup (3017), Remo Freuler (3053) and Matteo Guendouzi (3094).
• Hassane Kamara has four assists in 29 games this season, having served just one in 35 matches in last season's Serie A. The last Friulian defender with the most assists in a single league season was Nahuel Molina in 2020/21 (five).
