Latest news
Juventus Turin
📣 Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti, following the match against Cagliari (2-1), noted that the team started off hesitantly but managed to turn the game around: "We began a bit timidly, then responded well and took control of the situation. In the second half, we played better, creating several chances that we should have converted. We need to be more clinical in front of goal, but overall, I'm pleased with the team's performance. Openda and David are two strikers with different characteristics: one is more of a target man, while the other links the play better."
🚫 Juventus are facing significant squad issues. Gleison Bremer is recovering from a meniscus injury and is expected back by mid-January. Dusan Vlahovic will be sidelined until the end of December due to a thigh injury. Carlo Pinsoglio and Daniele Rugani are anticipated to be available by mid-December. Arkadiusz Milik remains out with a calf injury, with no clear timeline for his return. Goalkeeper Mattia Perin is also doubtful as he is experiencing physical discomfort.
Udinese Calcio
📣 Udinese head coach Kosta Runjaic expressed his satisfaction with his team's organization and discipline following their away match against Parma (2-0): "I'm very pleased. We had an excellent first half, and although the second half was more challenging... In Serie A, you always need to maintain focus, and today we were very solid defensively. Playing in Parma is never easy. Zaniolo took his chance - and it was a really important goal."
🚫 Udinese are facing fewer squad issues compared to Juventus. Thomas Kristensen will be sidelined until mid-December as he recovers from a muscle injury. Hassan Kamara's participation remains doubtful due to a foot injury.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
This season, Juventus have been facing significant defensive challenges. Even during their seven-match unbeaten streak, they managed just one clean sheet-in a goalless draw against Torino (0-0), where the opposition barely crossed the halfway line. In all other matches, the "Old Lady's" defense has been prone to errors. Given the instability in Turin's backline, betting on an Udinese goal seems like a reasonable decision.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Juventus and Udinese consistently create chances in front of goal and frequently earn corners. The "Old Lady" averages 5.0 corners per match, while the "Little Zebras" average 4.8, ranking 7th and 8th in Serie A, respectively. In their last head-to-head clash a month ago in Turin, the teams combined for 12 corners, making a bet on over 8.5 corners a logical choice.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Juventus are clear favorites in the upcoming clash, and we fully agree with them. First, Udinese are one of the most favorable opponents for the "Old Lady": the Turin side have won 7 of their last 8 head-to-head encounters, including a match just a month ago (3-1). Secondly, the team are gradually regaining their confidence-victories over Bodø/Glimt (3-2) and Cagliari (2-1) have been psychologically significant. Udinese, alternating between successful and disappointing performances, are highly likely to stumble again, especially considering their previous match ended in success for them. Therefore, we're backing a Juventus win and expect to see a scoreline of 2-1 on the board.
