Juventus Team News
Igor Tudor was rightfully fired for ruining so many bets on Juventus To Score during his tenure. Okay, that certainly wasn't the reason behind the Agnelli family's decision, but this writer hopes Tudor never gets a good job again.
The first signs were positive, perhaps wrongfully reinforced by the 4-3 win against Inter, but then things started to take a turn for the worse, and in the end Juventus looked even less potent than last season. And we know how that one went.
Massimo Brambilla, the reserve team coach, will lead the team here until a permanent solution is found. Luciano Spalletti is the favourite. He left the Napoli job after winning the title in 2023, then coached the Italy national team to little success, and is now unemployed for the last four months.
It remains to be seen how will Juventus look like here. Brambilla won't instantly change this team but perhaps it's enough to simply field all players on their respective positions they're best at, and tell them to enjoy football. That alone would achieve more than Tudor did.
Udinese Team News
Believe it or not, Udinese scored in almost all matches this season, the sole exception being the 0-3 at home against AC Milan, where they couldn't even touch the ball as Modric had it all the time. A gentle reminded this is also a side that won 1-2 at Inter Milan early in the season.
Udinese is a perennial 1-1 team, their matches always seem to end like this, they either manage to chase the score or it's the opponent that does the chasing. Note that this also means they're a team that wins a lot of BTTS-Yes for people.
Probable Lineups
Juventus (3-4-2-1): Di Gregorio - Gatti, Rugani, Kelly - Kalulu, Locatelli, Thuram, Cambiaso - Conceicao, Yildiz - Vlahovic. Coach Brambilla (interim).
Udinese (3-5-2): Sava - Goglichidze, Kabasele, Solet - Zanoli, Ekkelenkamp, Karlstrom, Atta, Kamara - Davis, Zaniolo. Coach Runjaic.
It's impossible to tell how will Juventus line up, but likely it will be a no-nonsense eleven with in-form players on their best positions, no tinkering.
The Betting Market
The home win is priced at 1.44, as if Juventus is steamrolling all opponents and as if Udinese is yet another one that will certainly be added to the list. Okay, it's understadable to expect a reaction from the players, but we'd advise against treating Juventus as a favourite until they prove they can beat anyone.
The Betting Verdict
Defensive problems at Juventus aren't going away, and Udinese is coming here to play football. This means there's a lot of value in the Both Teams To Score: YES for 2.05 so that will be the official recommended bet for this game, and a better choice than Over 2.5 Goals for 1.90.
