Juventus vs Udinese Predictions

Juve have no margin for error

Juventus have been solid at the back this season, and backing one or both teams not to score is the best bet for Udinese’s visit to Turin on Sunday.

Juventus are fourth, eight places and 20 points above Udinese in the table. The hosts have 16 wins, 16 draws and four defeats, while Udinese sit in 12th with a record of 12 wins, eight draws and 16 losses.

Juve know six points from the last two matches will see them qualify for the Champions League and they won’t want to mess it up having worked hard to fight back up to fourth.

Juventus have recorded seven victories in the last nine Serie A head-to-heads and Udinese have lost three of their last four away games in the league, while the hosts have avoided defeat in nine of their last ten home games in Serie A.

The last three times that Juventus have hosted Udinese in Serie A have seen at least one side failing to score and there has been the same outcome in six of Juventus’ last eight home matches.

Juventus have kept clean sheets in five of their last six head-to-heads against Udinese in Serie A and they have been impressive defensively this season, conceding just 33 goals in 36 games. Udinese have conceded in eight of their last nine, but they kept a clean sheet two weeks ago against seventh-placed Bologna, when they drew 0-0.

A 2-0 win for Juventus looks the best correct-score bet. Six of their last seven Serie A games have gone under 2.5 goals and five of their 16 wins this season were by a 2-0 scoreline.
