The series A is slowly coming to an end. However, this does not stop the matches from coming in thick and fast. However, while most people would consider the title race all but over, the battle to survive the drop rates on in the league as teams battle to stay afloat. While this may be the case, other teams would be looking to improve their standings in the league. Therefore, when Juventus welcomes Udinese to the league on Friday, there will be so much to play for.
Juventus
Juventus are a team who are literally champions-elect in the league. This, they would be a lot more comfortable as they approach this match. They would also have one eye on the champions league fixture against Atletico Madrid that is coming up soon. Juventus have really an impressive season. Led by the ever motivated Ronaldo, they are on course to make history in the league. They have also gotten the better of most of their rivals. It would surely be interesting to how Udinese would fare against this Juventus side that just does not know how to lose in the league this season. They are currently in 1st position, having amassed 72 points so far
Udinese
Udinese has seen better days than this in the Serie A. At this point, they are practically struggling to stay alive in the league. They are currently in 15th place having amassed 25 points so far. They are 7 points above the relegation. However, things could get worse if they lose to Juventus today and other results do not go their way. With this in mind, they would be looking to get at least a point when they meet Juventus. However, it remains to be seen just how possible it would be to get the better of Juventus in Turin. These are surely hard for Udinese.
Form
Their form does not make anything better. Udinese has managed to win just two games in the last six matches. The remaining games have ended in three losses and a draw.Udinese would be hoping to break their bad luck and keep winning as the season comes to an end. This is the business end of the season. The only way to survive is to keep winning your games.
Juventus, on the other hand, have won four matches out of the six which has been played. The remaining games have ended in a loss and a draw. Juventus are on a roll and would be interested in extending their winning streak when they meet Udinese. The truth is that they would need all the confidence in this world going into their champions league game and the match against Udinese is the perfect time to build confidence.
While the title is more important in any league, the race to avoid relegation is equally fascinating. Udinese would be hoping to stay far away from that race. To increase their chances of doing so, they would have to beat Juventus in Turin. That may be just one inch too far.
