According to reports from Repubblica Torino, Juventus needs two matches and two victories to secure qualification for the Champions League. After an inconsistent season, the team is preparing for the crucial match on Sunday evening against Udinese, featuring their new kit and sponsors Jeep and Visit Detroit.
This game is the first of two essential steps to avoid depending on the results of other teams. By winning against Udinese and then in the final matchday away against Venezia, the Bianconeri would guarantee their place in the Champions League, without needing to wait for other teams` slip-ups.
Securing a Champions League spot would represent the minimum objective for the season and would ensure participation in Europe`s most important club competition next year. A failure to qualify would be a significant sporting setback. Historically, Juventus has consistently qualified for the Champions League, with the notable exception of the 2023/24 season, which was affected by a points penalty.
Juve approaches Sunday`s match facing a lengthy list of absences and uncertainties. Due to suspensions and injuries, the coach will be forced to significantly adjust the team`s lineup to cope with the unavailability of players.
