Juventus vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 12/02/2024, 06:08  by Devesh Jaganath in Serie A Predictions

Juventus will look to bounce back to winning ways in the Serie A when they play host to Udinese on Monday night. The hosts are currently in second place in the league standings, while the visitors are 17th. With no European football this season, Juventus would likely have prioritized winning the Serie A this season. However, their title hopes took a couple of blows in the last few weeks, dropping two points at home to Empoli at the end of January and losing to rivals Inter Milan 1-0 last weekend. Those results followed a run over 16 unbeaten matches dating back to mid-September. La Vecchia Signora are now on 53 points after 23 matches, four points behind Inter. Nevertheless, they are still unbeaten at home this season, winning eight and drawing three of their 11 games and won the reverse fixture against this opponent 3-0 back in August. The hosts are the clear favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, after a solid mid-table finish last term, Udinese have struggled to follow up this season. They come into this match with 19 points after 23 games and are just one point above the drop zone. The White and Blacks played out a 0-0 draw at home to Monza last week, which extended their current winless run to five matches (W0 D2 L3). Over the course of the season, they have only managed two wins in 23 matches - the joint fewest of any team in the top flight. In 11 away games, Udinese have a record of one win, six draws and four losses, though they are winless in their last five outings. The visitors have failed to win any of their last seven matches against this opponent, losing six and drawing just one.
