Udinese coach Pasquale Marino says they're not afraid of Juventus ahead of tonight's game.

"On Sunday we struggled, as Palermo went on to the field looking to win and Davide Ballardini's side are going through a positive moment," said Marino of the 3-2 defeat in Sicily.

"We are improving our form, but keep paying the price for the small distractions, those little details that in the end become decisive."

It is certainly not the best way to prepare for a match with a Juventus side just three points off the top of the table.

"Nobody can doubt Juve's quality and it is difficult to find any weak points in this squad," continued the Coach. "It will be a tough game, but that must not make us afraid, as we need to provide a performance up to the task.

"It would be a great opportunity to bounce back by doing well against this fantastic team."
