Juventus vs Udinese Prediction and Betting Tips - 15th January 2022
Juventus host Udinese at the Juventus Stadium late on Saturday in Serie A, looking to put their Super Cup heartache behind them.
The Bianconeri were beaten 2-1 by Inter Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana on Wednesday.
Alexis Sanchez scored the winner for the Nerazzurri in the final seconds of extra-time as Massimiliano Allgeri's side threw an early lead.
On the league front, though, things are looking on the up again, with the side avoiding defeat in seven consecutive games.
Their last was the most memorable yet, fighting back from 3-1 down against AS Roma to win 4-3 at the Stadio Olimpico.
In the space of just seven minutes, the Old Lady struck thrice to pull off an emphatic comeback and climb up to fifth in the Serie A table.

However, they remain 11 points off the top despite having played a game more than champions Inter.
Udinese are stuck in 14th place with just 20 points and four wins from 19 games.
A 4-0 win over Cagliari was supposedly a mark of improvement, but it proved to be a false dawn after Le Zebrette went down 6-2 to Atalanta at home in the very next match.
