Juventus vs Udinese Betting Tips: Juve to Win & Under 3.5
Juventus’s high hopes of ending their four-year Serie A title drought were crushed over the weekend. They left Stadio Giuseppe Meazza looking disappointed after a bitter 0-1 defeat to Inter in a crucial clash at the top of the table. The unfortunate own goal by the black-and-white defender, Federico Gatti, dashed their dreams.
Incredibly, the harsh defeat the Nerazzurri inflicted in the race for dominance is the only flaw in an otherwise thriving period for the Old Lady. Before the embarrassing trip to the fashion capital last week, they had an impressive streak of 19 undefeated matches in all competitions (15 wins, 4 draws).
While it seems almost certain that the top-four finish in Calcio’s top-tier will lead to entry into the UEFA Champions League, the biggest club European stage, the Bianconeri know they need to urgently get their pursuit of the Scudetto back on track. This comes after gaining only a single point from their last two SA contests.
As we head towards Monday, there are positive indications that coach Massimiliano Allegri’s team is regaining their winning streak and restoring crucial self-confidence. Juventus holds the unique position of being the only team this season to prevent any visiting team from leaving Turin with full points. They have drawn twice and secured wins in eight of their 11 Serie A home games.
Turin supporters are highly expectant ahead of the upcoming 24th round of Serie A action, given Udinese’s visit. They have consistently triumphed over this team on their home turf for eight consecutive years, securing eight straight victories across all tournaments with an impressive total score of 22-4. This suggests the likely continuation of Juventus’ dominance.
Moreover, the unyielding resolve of the Friulians to stay afloat and evade falling into the bottom three is disrupted by a multitude of tied games. Their 13th deadlock of the season was recorded last Saturday when they played a scoreless 0-0 game against the modest Monza. This earned them the deserving title of “tie specialists.”
Gabriele Cioffi is increasingly worried about his team’s potential drop to a lower level in the renowned “Boot” football league. This concern stems from his team’s performance over the last 12 league games, where they managed to secure a full three points only once. They are now precariously positioned just above the most vulnerable spots, with only a single point more than the relegation-threatened Helas Verona residents, after nearly three decades in the higher tier of football.
With no away victories in their last five Serie A excursions, shipping two or more goals on four occasions during that span, visitors to Turin can hope for nothing but another setback, only their ninth of the season. Nonetheless, as Udinese has become a hard nut to crack, Juventus might have to make do with a narrow success.

Juventus team news
Although news emerged that Juventus top scorer Dusan Vlahovic (12G, 3A) had renewed his adductor problem in training, the Serbian centre-forward has recovered faster than projected, meaning he will be ready for Monday’s home clash with relegation-threatened Udinese.
After arriving injured from Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille during the winter transfer window, 23-year-old centre-back Thiago Djalo is struggling for fitness and his presence in Serie A round 24 is unknown, while fellow defender Danilo misses out due to yellow card suspension.

Udinese team news
Despite seeing an improvement in Udinese’s personnel situation of late, head coach Gabriele Cioffi remains without the services of key trio Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse and Gerard Deulofeu, who are all sidelined with injuries.
Experienced South American midfielder Roberto Pereyra will not be an option for Monday’s trip to Turin club Juventus, as last time-out against Monza earned him his fifth yellow card of the season, which will see him miss one match.
