The Old Lady missed the chance to go up top last game

Juventus had a very good chance to move into the leading position in the Serie A last game. It was a crucial encounter against Inter Milan. A 1-0 defeat now keeps Bianconeri in second place with a 4-point gap from the top. Also, league leaders, Nerazzurri have a game in hand as well.

Udinese on the other hand were held to a 0-0 draw by Monza. This can be taken as a positive given the draw came after two back-to-back defeats against AC Milan and Atalanta. Gabriele Cioffi’s men are just a point above relegation and will hope for a positive result.

Florian Thauvin (Udinese)

The Frenchman has a FIFA World Cup winning medal under his belt for a good reason. Udinese signed the talented forward back in January 2023 and already been an instrumental player.
