- Juventus sit sixth in the Serie A table, with 50 points from 28 games, while Udinese are 11th with 36 points from the same amount of games.
- Juventus have won the last three meetings between the sides in all competitions.
Juventus should justify odds
A fixture between Juventus FC and Udinese Calcio on Saturday should promise an intriguing tactical duel as well as plenty of goals for each team in a game that is more important to the visitors than the hosts.
Luciano Spalletti took charge of the Bianconeri in October 2025 and has immediately installed a structured, high-tempo style of play that is both clinical in possession and capable of attacking with numbers in the central areas.
Udinese head coach Kosta Runjaic, who took charge of the club in June 2024, has set up a three-at-the-back system that is solid at the back, provides width via wing-backs and is direct and pragmatic in the way his team play. While the Zebrette play patient football, they can also counter-attack quickly when the ball is won back, and pose a constant threat from set pieces.
Goals at both ends likely
In their last meeting three months ago, Juventus ran out 2-0 winners in the Coppa Italia and it is hard to see anything other than a repeat result in their favour on Saturday.
Udinese are a decent side and have found some form of late, taking full points against Fiorentina in a 3-0 home victory and drawing 2-2 with Atalanta in Bergamo, but Juventus will be a much sterner test.
The odds for Both Teams to Score - Yes look appealing at 49/50 because this fixture always produces goals at both ends while Juventus have the attacking structure to create them and Udinese always pose a set-piece threat.
Juve to take all three points
The odds for an away victory for Juventus look about right at 3/5, but it should be a bit shorter considering the Bianconeri have won the last three games between the clubs.
Keinan Davis has been an excellent striker for Udinese with nine goals in 24 Serie A appearances and provides the hosts with a reliable goal threat, while Kenan Yildiz is on nine goals in 27 Serie A games for Juventus and is often the one who puts the ball in the net when it really matters.
The Zebrette haven’t won a home game against Juventus for some time and their chances of doing so on Saturday look pretty slim.
