Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Line-ups: Juventus-Udinese Jan 19, 2013 Juventus have a completely revamped midfield as they welcome Udinese, but Antonio Di Natale is not fit to start. The Bianconeri have picked up just one point from two rounds and saw their lead at the top of the table sliced to three points going into this weekend. Antonio Conte has to completely reshuffle his midfield, missing Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Simone Pepe, Kwadwo Asamoah, Giorgio Chiellini and Nicklas Bendtner. Paul Pogba steps in and Arturo Vidal is able to start despite an ankle problem, joining Emanuele Giaccherini, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Paolo De Ceglie. Mirko Vucinic returns to the starting XI alongside Sebastian Giovinco. Udinese are without Zeljko Brkic, Diego Fabbrini, Mehdi Benatia and Emmanuel Badu, while Di Natale was debilitated by flu this week and can only start from the bench. Therefore, Roberto Pereyra is pushed into a more advanced role as support for Luis Muriel. Snow is expected at the Juventus Stadium this evening, but miles of underground heating pipes should ensure the game goes ahead without problems. JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pogba, Giaccherini, De Ceglie; Vucinic, Giovinco Juventus bench: Storari, Rubinho, Peluso, Rugani, Garcia, Padoin, Marrone, Isla, Schiavone, Matri, Beltrame, Kabashi UDINESE: Padelli; Heurtaux, Domizzi, Danilo; Basta, Pinzi, Allan, Lazzari, Pasquale; Pereyra; Muriel Udinese bench: Scuffet, Pawlowski, Coda, Angella, Faraoni, Silva, Merkel, Ranegie, Di Natale, Maicosuel, Campos, Fabbrini, Merkel http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Juventus v Udinese Preview – Team News, Tactics, Line-ups & Prediction Jan 19, 2013 The turn of the year hasn’t produced the kind of results that Juventus would have hoped for. The momentum that they had built with so much of effort seems to have been stopped with the winter break. Antonio Conte’s side has hit a slump in Serie A this year and are yet to record a league win. A loss to lowly Sampdoria at the Juventus Stadium was followed by a stalemate at the Tardini against Roberto Donadoni’s Parma side. Their nearest rivals, Lazio, wasted no time and took due advantage of Juventus’ slip-ups which makes the title race a bit more interesting. Thankfully for Juventus though, the lead they constructed over the course of the season still sees them at the top of the table with a three point advantage. For their opponents Udinese, this calendar year has seen a few upsets. Guidolin’s side has hit top gear since returning from the traditional winter break, claiming the impressive scalps of Inter and Fiorentina, both at the Friuli. The back-to-back victories have propelled them to 8th place in the league table and have extended their unbeaten run to an excellent six games, thus keeping hopes alive of a possible finish in the European zone. The last meeting between these two sides took place in Udine back in September. Juventus were utterly dominant and were aided by the man advantage they held. Goal-keeper Brkic was given his marching orders and Juventus capitalized. Sebastian Giovinco netted a brace with Mirko Vucinic and Arturo Vidal also getting their names on the score-sheet. Andrea Lazzari had scored the consolation goal for the home side. Team News and Tactical Brief Juventus Antonio Conte won’t be a pleased man with the way 2013 has begun for Juventus. Failing to register a win in two league outings is uncharacteristic for Conte’s side especially given the rather modest level of opposition they’ve locked horns against. Sampdoria and Parma were viewed as routine wins for the Serie A Champions but lackluster performances proved to be pretty costly. The absence of key players on the left-hand side in Giorgio Chiellini and Kwadwo Asamoah has been telling. Two players who have stood out this campaign have been missed by Juventus. Claudio Marchisio picked up a knock against Sampdoria and his drive and determination haven’t been replaced yet. Marchisio, though, could make it in time for this game but Conte isn’t expected to risk Il Principino. The Achilles Heel has been an area that has been targeted by Juventus’ opponents and it comes as no surprise that all the three goals that the Bianconeri have conceded in the league this year, have come from the left side. Federico Peluso has been bought in but has yet to stake a claim for a starting role. The same can be said for Martin Caceres whose shaky display against Parma does anything but guarantee a place in the playing eleven. No significant changes are expected to the side although latest reports suggest Arturo Vidal, Fabio Quagliarella and Andrea Pirlo are in danger of missing this game. If indeed they are ruled out of the fixture, they will represent blows for a team that is struggling to find its feet. Conte will hope his side manages to deliver the much required intensity – something that has been sorely lacking this year; the intensity that is the cornerstone to this successful Juventus foundation. Paul Pogba showed promise against Parma with his athleticism and energy and will play in a new look Juventus left-side. Mirko Vucinic has recovered from a niggling ankle problem but is expected to start from the bench thus offering Alessandro Matri another attempt at regaining lost confidence and hopefully for his manager and himself, a goal or two. Update: Pirlo, Marchisio and Quagliarella have not been included in the squad for the game. Young Luca Marrone could take Pirlo’s place in midfield. Probable Starting Line-up (3-5-2): Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo (Marrone), Pogba, De Ceglie; Giovinco, Matri Udinese Udinese have been inconsistent this term but one factor that remains consistent as always is the finishing ability of Antonio Di Natale. Captain dependable has produced the goods yet again with 14 goals to his credit and as always is leading by example. Colombian Luis Muriel has been the perfect partner in crime and is living up to expectations after sitting out most of the first half of the season through injury. Muriel has scored three goals in as many games for Udinese which makes the front duo a frightening prospect for any side. In what will be his 500th Serie A game as a manager, Francesco Guidolin won’t shift away from his 3-5-1-1 formation. Notable absentees include Badu and Mehdi Benatia who are both on International duty at the African Cup of Nations. Benatia, in particular, is one of the most highly-rated and sought after defenders in the peninsula. First choice keeper Zelkjo Brkic is suspended following his dismissal against Fiorentina. Udinese are a counter-attacking side and will be happy to let Juventus keep possession. Their pace on the break in the form of Basta and Muriel could be potentially harmful for a Bianconeri back-line that has left holes and doesn’t look as sturdy as they did when Chiellini was fit. Juventus have been exposed on the counter and with the trickery of Muriel and killer instinct of Di Natale up front, Udinese have the combination at hand to unlock the Old Lady. Basta at right wing-back will maraud up and down his side all night long and could be a real thorn to the Juventus defence and expose the evident vulnerability of Juventus’ left side. Probable Starting Line-up (3-5-1-1): Padelli; Heurtaux, Danilo, Domizzi; Basta, Pinzi, Allan, Lazzari, Pasquale; Muriel; Di Natale Player To Watch Out For Sebastian Giovinco (Juventus) Giovinco will fancy his chances against Udinese having already slotted a couple past them in the previous encounter. The Atomic Ant has grown in confidence and in the potential absence of Mirko Vucinic, remains the most dangerous player in the forward line. The diminutive attacker has 6 goals and 5 assists to his name so far. Giovinco’s set-piece prowess and his ability to create openings for others marks him out as our player to watch out for. Prediction Juventus 2-1 Udinese It won’t be an easy game for Juventus considering Udinese will be arriving in Turin brimming with confidence and will set their sights on another upset. The visitors will come with a well laid out game-plan as one can expect from a side bossed by Guidolin. The home side though, have enough quality and in front of the vociferous home support should grind out a victory and get their season back on track.

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Juventus-Udinese Betting Preview: Backing Giovinco to ensure plenty of goals The Serie A leaders have surrendered their commanding lead after a couple of disappointing results, but Al Hain-Cole thinks the former Parma man will get them off the mark. Jan 19, 2013 Juventus have endured a shaky start to 2013 by their very high standards, winning neither of their opening Serie A games to let their lead at the top of the table slip from eight points to three. Lazio may have bridged that gap by the time the Old Lady kick off against Udinese on Saturday, so they will be desperate to maintain some breathing space at the summit with their first three points since the winter break. Despite their mini-wobble, the champions are clear 1/3 (1.33) favourites to return to form with a win here. The visitors are undefeated in six in the league, but have lost 13 of their last 17 in Turin, and are unfancied at 9/1 (10.00) to continue their impressive form with a win. Only five of the last 35 encounters between these teams have ended in a draw, but you can get odds of 15/4 (4.75) on this one ending up all square. Not only have the lucky fans at the Juventus Stadium seen their team lose just three times since the new ground was opened at the beginning of last season, they have not been short of entertainment either. Goals are usually guaranteed when Antonio Conte's men are at home, where at least three have been scored in eight of the last 10 fixtures. Considering that tally has been exceeded in five of the last six meetings between this pair, odds of 7/10 (1.70) are surely too good to pass up on over 2.5 going in on Saturday. One man who particularly loves Juve's home ground is Turin native Sebastian Giovinco, who has hit seven of his 10 goals this season in his team's own back yard. The diminutive attacker has scored in six of the last seven on home turf, and is great value at 9/2 (5.50) to hit the first goal against a defence he breached twice in the reverse fixture in September. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Marchisio: '20 years with Juve' Jan 19, 2013 Claudio Marchisio celebrates his birthday today with a message for the fans. “I’m 27 years old, 20 of them spent with the Bianconeri jersey.” The Juventus midfielder was born in Turin and grew up in the club’s youth academy to become a hero for the supporters. He won’t be able to celebrate his birthday with a goal, as he is injured for tonight’s home game against Udinese. “Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes I am receiving! I am trying to read them all, but there are truly so many!!!” he wrote on his Facebook page. “I will always try to repay your affection towards me by giving my all on the pitch and never giving up! “Today I am 27 years old, 20 of them spent with the Bianconeri jersey, full of wonderful memories, people who have given me so much and who I’ll never stop thanking. “That includes you, who were present even in the most difficult moments!! THANK YOU!!!” Marchisio is nicknamed 'Principino' (The Little Prince) by Juve ultras.

Agnelli unsure about Beretta Jan 18, 2013 Juventus President Andrea Agnelli has claimed that he has mixed feelings about Maurizio Beretta's appointment as head of Lega Calcio Serie A. After several attempts to elect a President failed, Beretta was surprisingly re-elected on Friday afternoon, doing so without the vote of the Bianconeri, Roma and Inter. And the Old Lady's chief has admitted that he is unsure about the announcement. “The good news is that the League finally has some sort of governance,” he told La Repubblica. “Given that in recent months that hasn't been the case, it is definitely a step forward. “The bad news though is that this new government represents only a 30 per cent share of Italian football.”

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Juventus v Udinese: Preview Jan 18, 2013 Stephan Lichtsteiner rejected any talk of a crisis at Juventus but urged his team-mates to be especially wary of Udinese tomorrow night. The Serie A champions have seen their lead cut to just three points following the winter break, courtesy of a shock 2-1 home defeat to Sampdoria and a 1-1 draw at Parma, with title contenders Lazio and Napoli hitting form at just the right time. Juve defender Lichtsteiner is eager to see a swift improvement but reminded fans of last January's wobble, one that preceded an unstoppable surge to a 28th official Serie A title. He told juventus.com: "The defeat to Samp really hurt and then we gifted Parma the draw but we certainly can't talk about a crisis. "We've let five points out of six get away from us but we lost points in this period last year too. "In the last two games we've been hit on the counter-attack and we need to improve, but the team is strong and in good shape.'' The other Bianconeri arrive in Turin on the back of four wins claimed during a six-game unbeaten run. Lichtsteiner added: "They're a great team and we have to pay close attention to their speed. Everyone who faces us treats the occasion as a big game and we're aware of that. "For a lot of people the title is already decided, but we know perfectly well that there are several teams that will fight us right until the end.'' Vice-captain Giorgio Chiellini, midfielder Claudio Marchisio and striker Nicklas Bendtner are sidelined through injury. Tomorrow night will be emotional for Udinese boss Francesco Guidolin, who celebrates 500 games on the touchline as a head coach in Serie A. "I'm excited and proud,'' he said. "Although I'm only thinking about Juventus now and not the numbers. "I am now among the names of some legendary characters in the sport, which makes me very happy as it's probably the most important moment of my career. "To reach 500 games in Serie A is the equivalent of climbing 8,000 metres. Achieving this goal as the manager of Udinese makes me even more proud.'' Guidolin turned his attention back to Juve and the prospect of a daunting trip to north Turin. He added: "It will be fierce as it always has been over the last two years. They're top of the table and the number one favourite for the title.'' Defender Mehdi Benatia and midfielder Emmanuel Badu are unavailable due to African Nations Cup duty, with Andrea Coda, Maicosuel and talismanic striker Antonio Di Natale facing late fitness checks. Leonardo Bonucci and Alexis Sanchez were both sent off when Udinese last claimed all three points in Turin back in January 2011. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti MATCH PREVIEW Jan 18, 2013 Juventus must recover after a poor beginning to 2013 cut into their lead, while Udinese have looked ominous since Christmas. Aiming to bounce back from a shock loss to Sampdoria, Antonio Conte’s men bested Milan in the Coppa Italia, before drawing at Parma. Facing the only remaining unbeaten side at home, Andrea Pirlo netted a deflected free kick, but Nicola Sansone ensured a share of the spoils. From a seemingly secure eight point Christmas advantage, two winless matches has whittled the lead to just three, with Lazio on the charge. Coach Antonio Conte felt his side deserved maximum points at the Tardini and was pleased with the overall performance, unlike a week earlier. Claudio Marchisio is a week from returning, while usual midfield partner Pirlo is also battling an injury concern. Giorgio Chiellini, Nicklas Bendtner and Simone Pepe remain long-term absentees. Kwadwo Asamoah is at the Africa Cup of Nations. Udinese have roared back into European contention following two fantastic victories to start 2013. After disposing of Inter, Antonio Di Natale was again at the forefront in their win over Fiorentina. He netted the equalising penalty, before putting the Zebrette ahead. Luis Muriel capped the 3-1 victory 60 seconds later. It stretched Udinese’s unbeaten streak to six – including four wins – with Francesco Guidolin, who will reach 500 Serie A games as a Coach this week, calling the victory ‘important’. It meant the Friulani moved to within five points of the fifth-placed Viola and Europe. Zeljko Brkic was injured during the Fiorentina contest and is expected to miss around a month of action. Diego Fabbrini is an injury doubt, while Emmanuel Badu and Medhi Benatia are on national duty with Ghana and Morocco respectively. Amid steady snowfall last term Alessandro Matri’s brace secured a 2-1 triumph for Juve. It was their 28th Turin success over their fellow Bianconeri, who have enjoyed the smell of victory just six times in 38 visits. Keep an eye on: Luis Muriel (Udinese) – The Colombian livewire has impressed since returning from injury. Muriel is making the position behind Di Natale his own and with three goals in as many matches is proving a threat to opposition defenders. Form guide: Juventus (W W W L D) Udinese (W D D W W) Last season: Juventus 2-1 Udinese Stat fact: Francesco Guidolin-led sides have conceded 25 goals versus Juve in Turin, failing to keep a clean sheet in all 16 matches played. PROBABLE LINE-UPS JUVENTUS: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres; Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Marrone, Pogba, De Ceglie; Giovinco, Vucinic UDINESE: Padelli; Heurtaux, Danilo, Domizzi; Basta, Pinzi, Allan, Lazzari, Pasquale; Muriel, Di Natale http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Juventus - Udinese Preview: Antonio Conte's side seek first Serie A victory of 2013 Having secured only one point from a possible six since the winter break, the Old Lady will look to get back to winning ways against Francesco Guidolin's in-form side. Jan 18, 2013 PROBABLE LINE-UPS JUVENTUSBuffon Barzagli, Bonucci, Caceres, Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Isla Giovinco, Vucinic UDINESE Padelli Danilo, Domizzi, Heurtaux Basta, Pinzi, Lazzari, Pereyra, Pasquale Di Natale, Muriel Juventus go in search of their first league victory of 2013 when they face Udinese. Since the winter break, the Old Lady have seen their eight-point lead cut to just three after they suffered a shock 2-1 loss at home to 10-man Sampdoria which was followed by last week's 1-1 away draw with Parma. Antonio Conte has a few injury concerns ahead of Saturday's clash with Fabio Quagliarella and midfield duo Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal all set to undergo late fitness tests. The game is expected to come too soon for Claudio Marchisio who only returned to light training earlier this week. The Juventus coach is expected to make several changes from the side which dropped two points at Parma, with Mirko Vucinic, Mauricio Isla and Luca Marrone all pushing for starting berths. Paul Pogba is expected to continue in central midfield while Sebastian Giovinco is poised to once again lead the front line. Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin is forced to make one change from the team that defeated Fiorentina 3-1 as first-choice goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic is set for a short spell on the sidelines having fractured his finger. Daniele Padelli will therefore take his place between the sticks. The Zebrette coach will be hoping that Antonio Di Natale will be fit; the 35-year-old striker has not trained all week due to illness. Thomas Heurtaux will once again fill in for Moroccan defender Mehdi Benatia who is away at the Africa Cup of Nations whilst Brazilian midfielder Allan could start after his impressive cameo against Fiorentina. DID YOU KNOW? • In the reverse fixture back in September, Juventus cruised to a 4-1 victory with goals from Vidal, Vucinic and Giovinco (2) in a game which also saw Udinese goalkeeper Brkic sent off. Juventus are the only side to have won at the Friuli this season. • Juventus host the best defensive record in the league, having conceded only 14 goals from 20 matches. • The Old Lady have an impressive head-to-head home record against the Zebrette, winning 28 of the 38 previous encounters (W28 D4 L6). • Udinese are unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches but have only secured two wins away from home this season. • Saturday's showdown will be Francesco Guidolin's 500th Serie A match in charge. The 57-year-old coach has never led a side to a clean sheet in Turin. • Antonio Di Natale is the second-highest goalscorer in Serie A this season, tied on 14 goals with AC Milan's Stephan El Shaarawy. Only Napoli's Edison Cavani has notched more league goals (16).

With five assists also to his name, the pacey forward could prove to be the difference against the Zebrette. He was the stand-out performer in the reverse fixture back in September when he scored twice and won the penalty which resulted in Udinese goalkeeper Zeljko Brkic being sent off. Luis Muriel It is little surprise that Udinese's recent good form has coincided with the return of Luis Muriel from injury. The Colombian 21-year-old striker has attracted interest from Europe's top clubs, including Juventus, with his recent performances and has scored a goal in each of his last three matches. Muriel has struck a deadly partnership with top goalscorer Antonio Di Natale and his pace and trickery will no doubt keep the Juventus back line busy. Prediction Udinese are on a fantastic run of form as of late but I expect their struggles on the road to continue here against a solid Juventus defence. A narrow first Serie A victory of 2013 for Antonio Conte's men. Editor's Prediction Juventus 2 - 1 Udinese http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

New signing Federico Peluso has been named for the game with the Zebrette despite suffering from a fever, whilst youth team players Daniele Rugani, Pol Garcia Tena, Andrea Schiavone, Elvis Kabashi and Stefano Beltrame have also been called-up. Pirlo had not trained over the last couple of days and is not risked for the game, while Arturo Vidal is included despite fitness concerns. Full squad: Buffon, Caceres, Pogba, Vucinic, De Ceglie, Giovinco, Peluso, Barzagli, Bonucci, Padoin, Vidal, Giaccherini, Lichtsteiner, Storari, Matri, Isla, Rubinho, Beltrame, Rugani, Schiavone, Pol Garcia, Marrone, Kabashi http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Juventus are not in crisis, insists Lichtsteiner The Switzerland international is not too worried about the Bianconeri's struggles in 2013, and is looking forward to the match against Udinese. Jan 18, 2013 Stephan Lichtsteiner has stressed that Juventus are not in crisis despite their relatively poor performances since the end of the winter break. The Serie A champions were beaten 2-1 by Sampdoria a fortnight ago and had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Parma last week, but the Switzerland international has little doubt that they will soon return to winning ways again. "We were hurt by the home defeat to Sampdoria and we allowed Parma a way back into the game on Sunday. But there’s absolutely no need to talk about a crisis," Lichtsteiner told Sky Sport Italia. "We’ve dropped five points out of six, but we also did the same at this point last year." The right-back then went on to discuss this weekend's match against Udinese, and is expecting a close encounter. "Udinese are a great team and we need to pay close attention to the pace they possess in their ranks. All our opponents put in a top performance when they play against us and we’re aware of that. "But we've got to try and win everything. Clearly it will be tough, but we have quality and Juve’s mentality must always consist of taking to the field with the aim of winning every game and competition we face." Saturday's match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45CET. http://www.soccerway.com/national/italy/serie-a/20122013/regular-season/

Lichtsteiner: What Juventus crisis? Jan 18, 2013 Juventus full-back Stephan Lichtsteiner has dismissed talk of a crisis in Turin following a problematic start to 2013. The Old Lady have collected just one point from two games after defeat to 10-man Sampdoria and a 1-1 draw at Parma. “We’ve dropped five points out of six, but we also did the same at this point last year,” the former Lazio player told Sky Sport Italia. “We were hurt by the home loss to Sampdoria and we allowed Parma a way back into the game on Sunday, but there’s absolutely no need to talk about a crisis.” The Bianconeri will face in-form Udinese at the weekend and the 29-year-old respects the threat that Francesco Guidolin’s side will carry. “All our opponents put in a top performance when they play against us and we’re aware of that,” the Swiss international added. “Udinese are a great team and we need to pay close attention to the pace they possess in their ranks. But we’ve got to try and win everything. “Clearly it will be tough, but we have quality and Juve’s mentality must always consist of taking to the field with the aim of winning every game and competition we face.”

Serie A Week 21 - 19/1/13 (8:45 p.m.) - Juventus Stadium - Turin Referee: Luca Banti Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio worries for Juve Jan 17, 2013 The Juventus midfield could be decimated for Saturday night’s game with Udinese, as Claudio Marchisio, Andrea Pirlo and Arturo Vidal are all in doubt. Marchisio has already missed last week’s 1-1 draw with Parma due to a heavily bruised knee and is working to a personalised training schedule. Today Pirlo and Vidal did not take part in training with their teammates. Veteran Pirlo has been suffering from a right calf problem, while the Chilean has bruised his right ankle.
