Juventus are set to open their Serie A campaign with an away game at Udinese hoping to do better than last season, when they could only secure top four on the final day of the campaign. Their season was poor, by their standards, but not as poor as Udinese, who finished 10th with 40 points, a massive 38 behind Juventus’ final tally. Udinese finished their preseason duties on a strong footing and go into this game right from a win over Ascoli in the Coppa Italia. They’ve scored in all their last five matches, keeping two clean sheets in a run of high scoring games. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve scored two or more goals in two of their last three matches. They’ve also conceded three or more in two of their last five matches. In Serie A action, they hope for a good start, as they go to this game winless in the last five, with four losses and they don’t have a league clean sheet in the last 10 matches. In the last five league matches they’ve conceded 14 goals, and they are winless in six home matches in the league.

Udinese have beaten Juventus once in the last 12 meetings and Juventus have won 10. The Turin side heads to this game on the back of four wins in the last five matches and they will be outright favorites. Though they don’t have a clean sheet in their last 10 matches, Juventus have won eight in that run, and only failed to score in two – which ended in losses to Milan and Barcelona. Their matches have been high scoring – each of the last 10 producing over 2.5 goals and they’ve scored two or more goals in eight of their last 10 matches. In Serie A action, Juventus have seven wins, two losses and no clean sheets in the last 10 matches. They have strengthened with the acquisition of Manuel Locatelli from Sassuolo, while Max Allegri is also back as manager. Despite reports of an exit, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a Juventus player and will start his fourth season in Serie A with the Old Lady. He has scored 81 league goals in his first three seasons.
