A match in the 24th round of Serie A is contested, with Juventus hosting Udinese. Juventus' results this season are okay, with 16 wins, 5 draws and 2 defeats in their first 23 league games, ranking 2nd. However, Juventus have been in poor form in recent times, not winning two games in a row. In particular, the loss in a crucial match against Inter Milan led to a rapid deterioration in Juventus' title race. This was a big blow to Juventus. This time, Juventus are back at home against Udinese, a side who are deep in the relegation zone. As a result, Juventus unexpectedly broke out and lost to Udinese, which was very surprising.
Juventus lined up 352 formations in this match. Federico Chiesa and Milik are paired up in front of the duo. Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot and Cambiasso combined in midfield. Martti, Bremer and Sandro started the game at the back three. Szczesny was the starting goalkeeper. Ildiz, Kostic and Miretti were on the bench.
After the start of the game, both sides were slow to heat up and did not have many chances. After almost 20 minutes of play, the chances came more and more. However, it was the visitors Udinese who scored first. Gianetti capitalised on Sandro's clearance error to score. Juventus, who were behind, fought back ferociously, but the likes of Gatti, Rabiot and Milik did not have a shot on goal. At half-time, Juventus 0-1 Udinese. Juventus had 66% possession in the first half, 10 shots on goal with six on target, and failed to score. Udinese had just four shots on goal in the first half, scoring one goal.
In the second half, Milik finally seized the opportunity to score with a header, but was blown off because the ball had been out of the bottom line in advance. This was a big blow to Juventus. Allegri continued to make substitutions, with the likes of Yildiz, Kaviglia, Illin and Cherry coming off the bench one after another. However, none of these substitutions worked, and Juventus were never able to break through the Udinese goal. The final score was set at 0-1, with Juventus losing to Udinese.
Allegri screwed up again, he couldn't believe the result. Juventus suffered two consecutive defeats, three without a win and three with eight points dropped. Juventus are already seven points behind Inter Milan at the top of the table, and Juventus have played one more game than Inter Milan, which is a huge gap. Juventus will have a hard time competing for the title. Now Juventus' second place may not be guaranteed, because they are only one point ahead of AC Milan behind them.
