Udinese vs Juventus prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-11-01 17:00.
[p]Two goals in the opening 25 minutes and a promising 2-0 lead weren’t enough for Udinese to avoid a 3-2 defeat away to lowly Venezia in midweek Serie A action, as a red card early in the second half decimated their hopes. Despite alternating between wins and defeats in their last eight competitive matches (W4, L4), Udinese start this round in the top-half, and given their latest loss, it’s a trend they’ll hope to see continue another week.[/p]
[p]Kosta Runjaić’s men will be glad to return home, as they have turned Stadio Friuli into a fortress this term, winning six of their seven home matches (L1), with their only defeat coming against reigning champions Inter (3-2). Starting on solid footing seems to be crucial as Udinese have opened the scoring here in all six victories and scored before half-time in six of the seven outings, including their last match here against Cagliari.[/p]
[p]After starting this campaign by conceding only one goal in their first eight Serie A matches, Juventus’ defence broke after the injury of Gleison Bremer.  They’ve now conceded a whopping six goals across their last two outings, including a disappointing 2-2 draw at home against league newcomers Parma in midweek where they missed the chance to keep pace with league leaders Napoli. [/p]
[p]The Old Lady’s last away outing was even more spectacular as they played out a 4-4 draw against Inter, which marked only the third time in history that a Derby d’Italia saw at least eight goals scored. Unfortunately for Juve fans, it was also a fourth winless match across their last five matches in all competitions (W1, D3, L1), so they’ll be hoping to see a response here.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Spanish youngster Iker Bravo directly contributed to goals for Udinese for the first time in midweek in what was his only second start in Serie A, scoring and assisting before half-time. Timothy Weah has had a hand in three goals for Juventus across their last two matches (G2, A1), with each of his three league goals this term arriving in the opening 50 minutes.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only three of Juventus’ ten Serie A matches this season have seen both teams score, although those three came in the last four such games.[/p]
