Two months after meeting on the final day of last season, Juventus and Udinese reconvene on Sunday evening for their first Serie A fixture of the new campaign.

In a battle of the Bianconeri, Juve will try to turn over a new page following a tumultuous first half of 2023, while their hosts hope to end a dismal run of results against the Turin giants.
Docked 10 points for financial misdeeds, Juve ultimately trailed in seventh in Serie A - far adrift of Scudetto winners Napoli - and to add insult to injury, they were then stripped of a Europa Conference League place when UEFA imposed a year-long ban from Europe.
In the rare absence of continental competition, embattled coach Max Allegri will be eyeing an overdue return to form in the Italian top flight and an assault on the Coppa Italia, although controversy has continued to plague the Old Lady this summer.
Overshadowing pre-season preparations - which involved a high-profile trip to the United States, where they got the better of both Milan and Real Madrid - Juve's hierarchy have shunned long-serving captain Leonardo Bonucci, who rather awkwardly remains at the club but is no longer part of Allegri's plans.
While negotiations to bring ex-Inter striker Romelu Lukaku to Turin apparently continue, Allegri's sole major signing remains USA winger Tim Weah, though Manuel Locatelli and Arkadiusz Milik have both had their loan deals converted to permanent contracts.
