Juventus vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
Despite Juventus not scoring in their last three Serie A matches, I expect the hosts to deliver a strong attacking performance. Previously, Juventus rarely struggled offensively at home: in their last 19 home league matches, the team failed to score only twice. However, they didn't score excessively, netting exactly one or two goals in 16 of those encounters.
Udinese cannot boast a solid defensive record, especially in away games. In their last ten away Serie A matches, the team kept a clean sheet only against the newly-promoted Pisa. However, they have managed to limit opponents from scoring in large numbers: in eight matches during this period, Udinese conceded exactly one or two goals.
I believe Juventus will effectively create chances in this match, but they won't score more than two goals. My prediction: Exact number of goals by Juventus: 1-2
