Juventus Preview
Juventus’ campaign so far has been more than acceptable, and although they are used to leading the standings, there are many signs that they will fight until the end. They have conceded only 7 goals in 16 games, and although they have not scored many goals, their performance has been very convincing.
They won the last five games they played, the last one being a 1-0 victory over Cremonese, whom they beat in the 91st minute thanks to a formidable free kick by Poland’s Arkadiusz Milik. Argentina’s world champion Leandro Paredes returned for the match, while another Argentine, Ángel Di María, who is recovering from an ankle injury, is expected to recover soon.
Probable lineup (3-5-1-1): Wojciech Szczęsny, Federico Gatti, Gleison Bremer, Danilo, Matias Soulé, Nicolò Fagioli, Manuel Locatelli, Weston McKennie, Filip Kostić, Leandro Paredes, Arkadiusz Milik.
Udinese Preview
The team from Udine is 8th in the Serie A standings with 25 points, just 5 points behind Roma, the last team to qualify for European competitions.
Of the last five matches, they have drawn four and lost one, being the last of these a 1-1 draw against Empoli at home. The closing of 2022 was not good for Andrea Sottil’s team, since they have not won in their last eight games, and their great start to the season is the main reason why they are still so high in the standings. Unfortunately for them, right now they are a shadow of the team they showed at the beginning of the tournament.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri, Nehuén Pérez, Jaka Bijol, Enzo Ebosse, Kingsley Ehizibue, Sandi Lovric, Tolgay Arslan, Walace, Roberto Pereyra, Beto, Gerard Deulofeu.
JefeBet Prediction
Juventus returned to the level of past seasons, the one that led them to win eight consecutive league titles. They are a steamroller, and will undoubtedly take advantage of Udinese’s poor run to keep pace with Serie A leaders Napoli. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe Juventus will win comfortably.
Prediction: Juventus wins 2-0.
