Francesco Guidolin's troops will travel to Turin without two of their midfield enforcers in the form of Kwadwo Asamoah and Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, with the pair both representing Ghana at the African Cup of Nations, while Mehdi Benatia will also miss out, as the former Marseille youth is also at the tournament with Morocco.

- Juventus are the only side to have won a point away at Udinese in this campaign.
- No other side in Serie A have drawn more games than the Old Lady this season.
- The hosts have only conceded two goals in their last seven league games.
- Antonio Di Natale has scored 50 per cent of Udinese's league goals this term.
- The visitors have lost two of their last three games in all competitions.
- Only the hosts have conceded less goals than Udinese this season.
