The Serie A matchday 29 clash between Udinese Calcio and Juventus will take place on 14 March at the Dacia Arena. Udinese Calcio vs Juventus: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Udinese Calcio
In the previous round, Udinese Calcio failed to hold on to a two-goal lead against the Bergamo side. The hosts were in front until the 75th minute, but the match ultimately ended in a draw (2:2), once again underlining the club’s defensive problems. In this department, the home side are among the five worst teams in the league, having already conceded 41 goals. Even a win in that game would hardly have improved the club’s situation significantly: at best, they could have climbed a few places in the standings, but European qualification is not realistic. The gap to sixth place is 14 points and will most likely only increase. At present, Udinese Calcio sit 11th in the league with 36 points.
- Across 14 home games in the 2025/26 season, the home side have recorded five wins (four draws, five defeats).
- In nine of the team’s last 10 home league matches, no more than three goals were scored.
- Udinese Calcio have found the net in six of their last seven Serie A matches.
Potential Udinese Calcio Lineup (3-5-2)*
Maduka Okoye – Thomas Kristensen, Christian Kabasele, Branimir Mlacic – Hassane Kamara, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jesper Karlstrom, Jakub Piotrowski, Kingsley Ehizibue – Keinan Davis, Nicolo Zaniolo
Midfielders Alessandro Zanoli, Arthur Atta and Jordan Zemura, as well as defenders Umar Soule-Bomawoko and Nicolo Bertola, will miss the match through injury.
Juventus
In their previous match, Juventus comfortably beat Pisa (4:0). It is worth noting that the first half ended goalless, but in the second period the away side scored four unanswered goals, once again confirming their status as the league’s second-best attack. And if we look at the team’s scoring record across all competitions, it is clear that the visitors are in excellent shape going forward: in their last seven matches, they have scored 16 goals. In addition, Roma dropping points in a parallel fixture allowed Luciano Spalletti’s side to cut the gap to the Champions League places to just one point. The visitors are currently sixth in the table with 50 points.
- In six of their last seven league matches, the team have scored at least two goals.
- From 14 away games this season, the visitors have recorded six wins (three draws, five defeats).
- Juventus have conceded in 10 of their previous 13 away matches in Serie A.
Potential Juventus Lineup (3-4-2-1)
Mattia Perin – Federico Gatti, Bremer, Pierre Kalulu – Weston McKennie, Manuel Locatelli, Khephren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso – Kenan Yildiz, Francisco Conceicao – Jonathan David
Forwards Dusan Vlahovic and Arkadiusz Milik, as well as defender Emil Holm, are sidelined through injury.

Udinese Calcio vs Juventus: Match Prediction
This round sees Roma and Como play each other, and a win over the home side could allow the visitors to move up at least one place. We believe the club understands this perfectly, and will be focused solely on taking all three points against Udinese Calcio.
Luciano Spalletti’s side are scoring freely, but Udinese Calcio are far from a soft touch. The visitors have issues at the back, yet they also know how to score – 33 goals in 28 matches. What is more, in the last two rounds the home side have scored five goals, netting twice against the Bergamo side and three times against Fiorentina.
The away side have conceded eight goals in their last four away Serie A matches, including one against Parma, who have one of the weakest attacks in the league. Let us add that the teams have already met this season: Juventus won 3:1 at home on that occasion, and the upcoming encounter is unlikely to be any less entertaining.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes + Over 2.5 goals
