Serie A 2025-2026: Juventus-Udinese, the likely lineups

Juventus is preparing to host Udinese in their league match scheduled for Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Allianz Stadium, with Massimo Brambilla (Next Gen coach) on the bench for the occasion. Both teams have collected 12 points so far and are in eighth place in Serie A.

Brambilla is not expected to change much the tactical set-up of the Piedmontese Bianconeri: in attack there will still be room for Jonathan David, despite a less than exciting start to the season, while Yildiz and Vlahovic will start slightly more at the back, with mainly offensive duties anyway. Also confirmed is the three-man defense with Kalulu, Gatti and Kelly in front of Di Gregorio. In midfield, Thuram’s last-minute absence: in his place Koopmeiners will most likely play.

As for the Friulians, on the other hand, Kosta Runjaic is seeking his fourth consecutive useful result by relying again on Zaniolo and Davis in attack, with a five-man midfield that will see, barring surprises, Zanoli and Zemura on the flanks and Karlstrom in the role of director. Udinese will also feature a three-man defense, with Goglichidze, Kabasele and Solet in front of goalkeeper Okoye.

Probable lineups

JUVENTUS (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Kalulu, Gatti, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Koopmeiners, Cambiaso; Yildiz, Vlahovic; David. All. Brambilla.

UDINESE (3-5-2): Okoye; Goglichidze, Kabasele, Solet; Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Atta, Zemura; Zaniolo, Davis. All. Runjaic.
