Juventus vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips (15 January)

Juventus lost the Italian Super Cup against Inter in the 120th minute due to an awkward mistake by Alex Sandro and thwarted the chance to lift a trophy to the sky. Before this 2-1 knockout, the bianconeri came from a match won in Rome in a 4-3 comeback after being 3-1 down and even on that occasion they had shown that they were unable to "produce football" but to rely on single raids against a nefarious team unable to maintain the advantage. In the 22nd round of Serie A, Massimiliano Allegri's men will see it at the Allianz Stadium against Gabriele Cioffi's Udinese, a team clearly penalized by the latest decisions of the league to let it play despite Covid to the point of paying duty at home for 6 -2 against Atalanta after the two previous matches the last of 2021 and the first of 2022 had not been played due to "interference" by the ASL.

In Juve there will be no injured Chiesa and Ramsey stopped by Covid-19 but also by the collision course with the club, while Udinese will be without the suspended Becao, the injured former Pereyra and the positive covid Makengo, Nestorovski and Zeegelaar.

Over the course of their last 15 matches at the top table of the Serie A, Udinese have been involved in no fewer than 14 contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 91 minutes. Given that seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Juventus have followed suit, more of the same is expected in this clash.
