Udinese vs Juventus Prediction & Betting Tips (2 November)

Close to the descent last year, Udinese displays a completely different face at the start of the season. Indeed, the team based in Friuli is currently staying a good distance from the red zone. Lorenzo Lucca's teammates occupy 7th place in Serie A with 16 points taken in 10 games. A little less consistent in recent weeks, they suffered 4 losses in the last 6 days, for 2 victories. After gaining the upper hand over Cagliari 2-0 , Udinese lost to relegated Venice this week 3-2.

Now under the orders of Thiago Motta this season, Juventus intends to fight for the Scudetto. The Old Lady is currently 4th in Serie A but is already 7 points behind the leader. Still undefeated with 4 wins and 6 draws, the Bianconeri show real promise but are not yet running at full speed. After dominating Lazio 1-0 , they were forced to share points against Inter 4-4 and promoted Parma this week 2-2 .

The Udinese coach is without starting defender Kristensen, replacement midfielder Atta and long-missing striker Alexis Sanchez, all injured. Furthermore, the important defender on loan from Lorient Isak Touré is suspended. The young Spanish striker Iker Bravo (19) stood out in Venice with a goal and an assist. The Italian international Lucca (4 goals in SA) is also available as is the former Marseillais Thauvin (3 goals in SA) who was able to play again this week. On the Juventus side, the Brazilian internationals Bremer and Douglas Luiz are still missing , the important Argentine winger Nico Gonzalez and the replacement striker Milik, injured.

Added to this is the suspension of Paul Pogba. Dutch playmaker Koopmeiners returned to action in the middle of the week. Former Lille player Weah (3 goals in SA) is starting to show up. He is applying this weekend just like executives Yildiz (2 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Vlahovic (6 goals in SA).
