Reigning Italian champions Juventus host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Friday night, as the Bianconeri look to move further clear at the top of Serie A.
Juventus could stretch their lead at the top of the Italian top-flight table to a massive 19 points with a victory over the struggling visitors. Last time out in Serie A, Massimiliano Allegri’s team won 2-1 at second place Napoli.
The win means that Juventus are still unbeaten in their 26 league outings this season, having won their last four matches in Serie A. The home side have been prolific of late in the Italian top-flight, scoring at least two goals in eight of their last nine matches.
Juventus have a formidable recent home record in Serie A, as they are unbeaten in 15 matches at the Allianz Stadium, recording 13 victories in the process.
The Bianconeri have also scored at least two goals in their last four home matches in the Italian top-flight, contributing to all four matches producing over 2.5 goals.
Udinese are 15th place in the Italian top-flight table, seven points clear of the relegation zone after a difficult campaign so far. The visitor's form has improved of late, as they have recorded consecutive league wins over Chievo and last time out Bologna. However, a record of just three wins in 13 Serie A outings is still a poor one.
The visitor’s recent games in Serie A have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches.
A part of Udinese’s poor league position is their away record, as the men from Udine have failed to win in eight games on their travels in Serie A, suffering five defeats in the process.
Forebet predicts that Juventus will record a comfortable victory in a low scoring game to continue their relentless march to yet another Scudetto.
