This campaign has resulted in the Bianconeri registering too many league draws, and one more would equal their record of 17 from the 1955/56 season.
Tudor, who has collected 12 out of a possible 21 Serie A points since arriving in late March, is two wins away from a top four finish and a Champions League berth.
Juve’s season finale seems straightforward on paper, with mid-table out-of-form Udinese the visitors to the Allianz Stadium on Sunday followed by a trip to relegation-threatened Venezia.
Five alive
Yet there are five clubs in the mix to finish fourth. Juventus are surprisingly only given a 64.2% chance to achieve the feat, according to the Opta supercomputer.
Fifth-placed Lazio are on level points, with AS Roma a single point behind the pair.
Bologna and AC Milan are outsiders to secure the last Champions League spot with the top three places guaranteed to be taken by Atalanta, Inter Milan and Napoli.
When Tudor was in charge at Lazio, he screwed up in the Rome club’s run-in and promptly left his role last summer. History may repeat itself this term for the former Juventus defender.
His future with the Turin titans hinges on their league finish. The financial clout of competing in Europe’s top club competition opens glorious opportunities to revamp the squad with top-quality players.
One defeat
The Croatian, who has only lost once in seven games, claimed at the pre-match press conference: “When I arrived, the team was in the deepest hole. We played some good games, and against Parma we didn't deserve to lose [1-0 last month].
“We played two games with 10 players [because of red cards]. The absences [injuries and suspensions] we’ve had are not trivial, after all the matches we’ve played I’ve always had a good feeling.
“This team, when complete, is strong and can fight with everyone. The team has always done its best and given everything they could considering the circumstances.
“I want to feel the trust of the players, and I feed on this. I live day-to-day, I enjoy everything and I suffer. We always have to be demanding and always try to win.”
Tudor’s nine-match contract has been extended to include the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup finals in June and July, which could signal the end of his tenure.
Managerial changes at Juventus have long been rumored in the Italian sports press. Antonio Conte, who has steered Napoli to the top of the table this term, could return to Juve having won three Serie A titles as a manager.
Atalanta’s Gian Piero Gasperini, former Italy head coach Roberto Mancini and ex-Barcelona boss Xavi are the other names frequently linked to the prestigious role.
Pressure mounting
Tudor does not seem flustered about his uncertainty at the club. He faces pressure, although Bianconeri boast an impressive record against Udinese having collected a dozen victories from their past Serie A meetings.
Juve’s home record against Udinese has never produced a draw, with just six defeats from their 28 games in Turin. The visitors are missing key players for the fixture, including their three top goalscorers this term.
Tudor added: “Udinese are a physical team that run a lot and have had some great performances.
“Everyone has to give their all, those who start and those who take over. I always tell the lads to go out and play without thinking, to enjoy what they do on the pitch.”
