UDI vs JUV Dream11: Juventus will be back in action later tonight as they take on Udinese for their first game of the new season in the Italian League. Udinese finished at the 14th spot last season with 40 points, and will be keen on climbing higher up this time around. Whereas, Juventus failed to win the title, and just about book a spot in the Champions League by finishing in at 4th with 78 points. It was an underwhelming season for Juve, as Andres Pirlo then had to face to brunt. Pirlo was replaced by Maximiliano Allegri who knows a thing or two about winning big with Juventus. Allegri’s track record suggests that he was the right man to be reintroduced, and it could turn out to be an interesting season for his side.
