Juventus vs Udinese Predictions

• Juventus are on a seven-game unbeaten run.
• Juve beat Udinese 3-1 in Turin in October.
• Juve’s last five wins have all featured over 2.5 goals.

Juve can avoid cup upset

Juventus host Udinese for the second time in just over a month as the two Serie A rivals face off in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.

The Bianconeri won 3-1 in the league when they entertained Udinese at the end of October, and another high-scoring win for the Turin outfit looks the best angle for our main bet,

Juventus have put together a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions ahead of this fixture (W4, D3) and over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in all of their victories during that run.

Juve have also only managed one clean sheet in that spell, so a home win with both teams to score was under consideration for our main bet as Udinese are have scored in six of their seven away games this season. However, the better angle is backing total goals – covering a consolation strike for the visitors as well as a big win for Juventus, as Udinese have shipped more than two goals in two of their last five away games.

Juventus have won each of the last three meetings between these sides by two-goal margins but they can go one better on Tuesday and a 4-1 home win has a chance in the correct score market. As this is a cup game, Udinese will continue to push forward even if they do fall a few goals behind and Juve may be able to pick them off late on and put together a big win as they seek to build on a strong run of form.

Kenan Yildiz stands out as a potential scorer after the Turkey international hit both of Juve’s goals in the win over Cagliari last time out, and he scored in the league meeting between these two sides in October.
