Udinese vs Juventus Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - August 18, 2023

Udinese vs Juventus
Italian Serie A
Date: 20 August 2023, Sunday
Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadio Friuli (Udine).

Juventus travel to the east of the country to battle Udinese in the opening round of the 2023/24 Serie A season.

The match from Stadio Friuli kicks off on Sunday evening and the visitors enter it as 1.85 favorites to get the win.

I Bianconeri have had a turbulent and generally underwhelming campaign intertwined by multiple point-deductions in the previous term of the Serie A.

They finished seventh at the end. Massimiliano Allegri is still at the helm and he hopes for a much better campaign this time around.

He has enough firepower on display in his ranks to justify the high ambitions. The atmosphere in the dressing room seems high after fantastic preseason displays and back-to-back wins over the likes of AC Milan and Real Madrid in exhibitions.

I Bianconeri did fail to break the deadlock in their final test against Atalanta, playing a goalless draw with La De on the neutral venue last Saturday.

Udinese, on the other side, played a competitive game last weekend, bagging four goals past lower-division Catanzaro in a commanding victory in the first round of the Coppa Italia.

It was the third straight win for Andrea Sottill’s men who had earlier dispatched Qatari side Al Rayyan twice in a row (2-1 each time).

Udinese vs Juventus Head-to-head

• Juventus have dominated this matchup historically with 41 wins, 9 draws, and 9 defeats in the last 59 encounters with Udinese.
• I Bianconeri will enter this on the back of five wins and a draw in the last six clashes against Udinese.
• The run includes two separate 1-0 wins in the previous term of Serie A.

Udinese vs Juventus Prediction

Both teams have shown strong attacking form in the preseason and we have enough reasons to go for the Both Teams To Score option at the 1.95 odds here.

Alternatively, Udinese are worth backing to avoid a defeat on the opening day in front of the home crowd at the 1.90 odds knowing they’ve won six of seven matches in the preseason, including the clashes against Real Betis and RB Leipzig.

Udinese vs Juventus Betting Tips

• Both Teams To Score @ 1.95 (19/20)

• Udinese to win or draw @ 1.90 (9/10) odd.
