Juventus vs Udinese Betting Tips: Juve to Win & Under 3.5

Juventus's lofty ambitions of breaking their four-year Serie A title drought were dashed over the weekend when they departed the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with downcast expressions following a stinging 0-1 loss to Inter in a crucial top-of-the-table clash, with black-and-white defender Federico Gatti inadvertently putting the ball into his own net.

Unbelievably, the bruising blow in the race for supremacy dealt by the relentless Nerazzurri represents the sole blemish in an otherwise highly successful period for the Old Lady, who, prior to the inglorious outing to the fashion metropolis last week, had been enjoying an extraordinary run of 19 unbeaten matches across all competitions (W15, D4).

While the top-four finish in Calcio's top-tier, leading to entry into the biggest club European stage (UEFA Champions League), appears almost inevitable, the Bianconeri will be aware that they must urgently react to get their Scudetto pursuit back on course, after put a measly point in the pocket from the last two SA contests.

As Monday approaches, there are encouraging sings that coach Massimiliano Allegri's side is resiccovering their winning form and reclaiming vital self-belief, with Juve boasting the distinction of being the only club this season to deny any visitor from leaving Turin with maximum points, sharing the spoils on just two occasions and clinching victories in eight out of their 11 Serie A home matches.

The expectations of the Turin faithful are high ahead of the upcoming Serie A action in round 24, considering the arrival of Udinese, a side they have consistently bested on their green field for the past eight years in a row, making it eight straight triumphs in all tournaments with an impressive aggregate score of 22-4 during that time, signaling the imminent extension of Juventus' dominance.

Furthermore, the unwavering determination of the Friulians to keep their heads above water and avoid plummeting into the bottom three is disrupted by a plethora of drawn outcomes, as they recorded a staggering 13th stalemate of the season last Saturday by playing out a goalless 0-0 draw against the unassuming Monza, rightfully earning them the title of "tie specialists."

Descending to a lower tier of football in the iconic "Boot" after nearly three decades is becoming a growing worry for Gabriele Cioffi, who has seen his team claim full three points only once in the last 12 league outings, leaving them teetering just above the most vulnerable positions with just a single point more than the relegation-haunted residents of Helas Verona.

With no away victories in their last five Serie A excursions, shipping two or more goals on four occasions during that span, visitors to Turin can hope for nothing but another setback, only their ninth of the season. Nonetheless, as Udinese has become a hard nut to crack, Juventus might have to make do with a narrow success.
