Read on for more statistics and curiosities ahead of this evening's Serie A Matchday 17 meeting.
YEAR ON YEAR - Juventus have collected seven points more than last season after 16 league games, only Salernitana along with today's opponents Udinese have done better, having earned nine points more. What's more, Udinese are the team that has earned the most points from a trailing position in Europe's top-10 leagues this season, having recouped 16 points.
MOISE ON THE MARK - Moise Kean has found the net four times in his last three Serie A starts for Juventus - including a double against Lazio before the World Cup. He first scored a brace at home in Serie A against Udinese on 8 March 2019, still his only two goals against the club from Friuli in the competition.
A WORTHY REFLECTION - Udinese (10, like Napoli) and Juventus (7) are two of the three teams, with Napoli, that have scored the most in the final 15 minutes of play so far this campaign, with 10 and seven goals respectively. Furthermore, they are the two teams that have conceded the fewest goals (Juve 3, Udinese 5) in the second half and neither side has conceded in the last quarter of an hour.
DEAD BALL DIFFERENCE - After Arkadiusz Milik's midweek winner against Cremonese, Juventus have now scored three goals from direct free-kicks this season, the same number as the team had accumulated over the previous four Serie A seasons.
PLAYING DAYS - The only precedent in Serie A between Massimiliano Allegri and Andrea Sottil dates back to 13 October 1996 when both were still players. Allegri's Perugia beat Sottil's Atalanta 3-1, with the Juve coach on the scoresheet.
