Their breakthrough came when a penalty was awarded and converted by Manuel Locatelli, whose composed finish restored the lead and ultimately sealed the outcome. With time ticking down, manager Igor Tudor made several substitutions to inject fresh energy into the team and maintain their advantage. .

Juventus suffer fresh injury blow amid selection crisis in defence There’s worrying news from Turin as Juventus defender Renato Veiga trained separately this morning, potentially worsening Igor Tudor’s selection crisis in defence for a key game at Venezia. Portuguese defender Renato Veiga did not train with the rest of the Juventus squad this morning due to a muscle fatigue. ............ It’s pretty bad news for coach Tudor, given that Federico Gatti, another centre-back, continued to train separately on Friday, like central midfielders Teun Koopmeiners and Weston McKennie. Juventus are already without injured defenders Gleison Bremer, Juan Cabal, and the suspended Pierre Kalulu. ............ Lloyd Kelly returned to action last week after recovering from a hamstring injury. As things stand, the ex-Newcastle defender is set to start in a three-man backline against Venezia, joining Alberto Costa and Nicolò Savona. .

Serie A Preview: Venezia vs Juventus – Team News, Line-ups & Prediction Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo forms the backdrop for a ‘make or break’ final-day Serie A showdown between Venezia and Juventus. Though the reasons are different, the goal is the same – take three points or wave goodbye to your seasonal goals. Relegation-threatened Venezia head into proceedings two points adrift of safety after Cagliari thumped them 3-0 last weekend. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side had briefly reignited their survival hopes with a stunning 2-1 home win against Fiorentina, only to throw everything away at the Unipol Domus. ............ Juventus won’t be out to make friends as they fight tooth and nail to fend off Roma in an intense top-four battle. A 2-0 home win against Udinese last time out saw the Bianconeri preserve a slender one-point lead over Claudio Ranieri’s side heading into the season finale. Therefore, there’s no margin for error. Head coach Igor Tudor may be fighting for his job as well. Securing another season at Europe’s top table could be just what the doctor ordered for the Croatian manager amid talks Juventus could try to re-sign Napoli boss Antonio Conte in the summer. Match Preview Venezia ............ Juventus Dusan Vlahovic returned to the scoresheet against Udinese and could make his final appearance for Juventus this weekend. Despite talks the Turin heavyweights could sign Victor Osimhen to replace the Serbian superstar, their hopes of landing the Napoli superstar have suffered a massive blow. Per French outlet Foot Mercato, the Nigerian could soon complete a shock transfer to Saudi Pro League giants Al-Hilal. Nonetheless, dining out at Europe’s top table next season would significantly bolster Juventus’ hopes of reinforcing their squad in the summer. As such, extending a four-game unbeaten league run (W2, D2) with a win is imperative. Facing bottom-five sides on the road hasn’t been smooth sailing for Juventus. Indeed, they’ve managed just one win in such fixtures this season (D2, L1). Their overall away form in 2025 paints a similar picture, with only two competitive victories on the road (D6, L4) and none in their last five. As if that’s not concerning enough, Juventus netted 2+ goals in just one of those 12 matches. Team News ............ On the other hand, only long-term absentees Arkadiusz Milik, Juan Cabal, and Gleison Bremer are on the list of missing players in the Juventus camp. Indeed, Teun Koopmeiners and Weston McKennie are back to full fitness, while Nicolo Savona and Khephren Thuram return from suspension. Venezia vs Juventus Potential Starting Line-ups Venezia (3-5-2): Radu; Marcandalli, Schingtienne, Cande; Zerbin, Perez, Nicolussi Caviglia, Busio, Ellertsson; Yeboah, Gytkjaer. Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio; Savona, Veiga, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Gonzalez, Yildiz; Kolo Muani. Venezia vs Juventus Prediction Given the stakes, it’s reasonable to expect both teams to be cautious in the early exchanges. Another low-scoring contest could be in store, and that’s the environment that better suits Juventus, who should take three points. Prediction: Juventus to Win .

Preview: Venezia vs. Juventus - prediction, team news, lineups Both teams will have a lot on the line when Venezia host Juventus in Sunday's Serie A season finale, with the hosts staring relegation in the face at Stadio Penzo. While the Lagunari need help from elsewhere to have any chance of avoiding the drop, Juve are looking to secure a Champions League return for next season - victory will wrap up fourth place for the Bianconeri at the end of another sub-par campaign. Match preview With just one match remaining, Juventus occupy pole position in the sprint for Champions League qualification, though there are still three teams capable of claiming fourth place depending on the outcome of another Serie A 'Super Sunday'. While the Turin giants will guarantee fourth spot if they beat Venezia, both Roma - who play away against Juve's city rivals Torino - and Lazio, at home to Lecce, stand ready to pounce. Juventus lead fifth-placed Roma by one point and sixth-placed Lazio by two, so they are on track to achieve the board's minimum requirement - albeit a tie between any of the trio would see head-to-head records decide their fate. Taking one step closer last week, the Bianconeri saw off mid-table Udinese, with both goals created by Kenan Yildiz: Nico Gonzalez broke the deadlock on the hour mark before Dusan Vlahovic finally ended his drought by firing home a late second. The latter is one of several men whose future is up in the air - including interim head coach Igor Tudor, who will lead Juve to the new Club World Cup next month but could then depart - so a summer of change may await. First, though, Tudor will attempt to win an away game at his fifth attempt since replacing Thiago Motta, as the Croatian's prolonged trial period continues. After a last-gasp leveller from Vlahovic salvaged a 2-2 draw in December's reverse fixture, Tudor's men are aware that only maximum points will do this weekend - otherwise, fourth place could go to either club from the capital. ............ Team News Igor Tudor should be able to call upon utility man Weston McKennie, despite the USA international limping off with an ankle injury last week, while Juventus can also welcome back both Khephren Thuram and Nicolo Savona from one-match bans. Pierre Kalulu is still suspended, joining long-term absentees Juan Cabal, Arkadiusz Milik and Bremer on the sidelines; furthermore, midfielder Teun Koopmeiners continues to struggle with an Achilles issue. Hoping to displace Randal Kolo Muani up front, misfiring striker Dusan Vlahovic scored against Udinese after a run of seven league matches without a goal, and Sunday's game could potentially be his last for the club. With two assists, Kenan Yildiz took his tally of Serie A goal involvements up to 10, becoming the youngest player to hit double figures this season. Juve have a points-per-game average of 2.1 with the Turkish star in their starting lineup; that drops to less than half (1.0) when he does not start. ............ Venezia possible starting lineup: Radu; Marcandalli, Schingtienne, Cande; Zerbin, Perez, Nicolussi Caviglia, Busio, Ellertsson; Yeboah, Gytkjaer Juventus possible starting lineup: Di Gregorio; Savona, Veiga, Kelly; McKennie, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso; Gonzalez, Yildiz; Kolo Muani We say: Venezia 1-2 Juventus Much improved since the turn of the year, Venezia have become tougher to beat on home turf - but their final-day fixture is far from ideal and relegation surely awaits. For all their flaws, Juventus still boast plenty of quality and - following a few scares - they should get the win that secures Champions League qualification. .

Did Totti just confirm that Conte is coming to Juventus? Juventus are being strongly linked with a move to bring Antonio Conte back to the Allianz Stadium this summer. The experienced Italian manager is currently on the verge of securing the Serie A title with Napoli, and his reputation as a winner continues to grow. ............ Juventus are reportedly exploring its options for the manager’s role at the end of the season. While Igor Tudor currently occupies the bench and is pushing to secure Champions League qualification, the Bianconeri’s leadership remain keen on appointing a top-level tactician to lead the club into a new era. ............ However, it remains unclear whether Conte is open to leaving Napoli so soon after taking charge. His impact at the club has been immediate, and the project there is still in its early stages. Speculation has intensified after Francesco Totti was asked about the managerial situations involving both Conte and Massimiliano Allegri. His remarks have led some to believe that both managers may have already made decisions about their future. Totti commented: “They are two coaches who have already signed for other teams, so neither of them.” His words seem to support recent reports suggesting that Allegri is set to replace Conte at Napoli, while Conte could indeed be heading back to Turin. ............ .

What is Juventus realistic target at the Club World Cup? Juventus are among the clubs set to participate in the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins next month, and current manager Igor Tudor is expected to remain in charge for the tournament. The competition presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the Bianconeri as they prepare to represent Italian football on the global stage. ............ Once Serie A concludes, preparations for the Club World Cup will begin in earnest. The tournament’s new format includes more teams and additional fixtures, which will require greater depth and fitness from the squad. Juventus may need to evaluate their current options and potentially sign reinforcements to remain competitive throughout the event. ............ While every team enters the Club World Cup aiming to win, Juventus must approach the tournament with measured expectations. Competing against some of the best clubs from around the world, including well-prepared sides such as Inter Milan, will be no small task. A sensible target for the Bianconeri would be to progress beyond the group stage. Once in the knockout rounds, they can reassess their goals based on the strength and form of their opponents. ............ .

Should Igor Tudor change his lineup for the Venezia game Juventus faced significant squad limitations in their recent fixture against Udinese, with several key players unavailable due to injury and suspension. This situation presented a tactical challenge for head coach Igor Tudor, who was forced to make unorthodox decisions in his team selection. Among the notable adjustments, Francisco Conceição was deployed in midfield, a move that raised eyebrows but ultimately paid off. ............ As Juventus prepare for their final match of the season against Venezia, the squad will benefit from the return of several first-team players, most notably Khephren Thuram. Suspended for the Udinese clash, the French midfielder is now available for selection and is expected to play a crucial role. Thuram has been widely recognised as Juventus’ standout summer signing and is strongly tipped to be named the club’s Player of the Year. ............ Despite the success of the lineup against Udinese, Tudor now faces a selection dilemma. While continuity might favour retaining the same XI, leaving Thuram on the bench would undoubtedly spark questions, particularly if the result against Venezia is unfavourable. The manager is under pressure to conclude the season on a high, and for that, he is expected to deploy his strongest possible side. Given Thuram’s impact this season, his inclusion could be pivotal. ............ . Read more -> https://www.juvefc.com/should-igor-tudor-change-his-lineup-for-the-venezia-game/
