Udinese vs. Juventus 5/2/21 Serie A Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Udinese is hosting Juventus at Dacia Arena in round 34 in the Italian Serie A.
Udinese has had a few good results lately, but they have still lost 4 of their last 6 games. Luckily for Udinese, they are far away from the relegation zone, in 11th place with 39 points, only 38 scored goals, and 44 conceded goals. In their last game against Benevento on the road, Udinese has had 43% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. Udinese was under pressure in this game, but they have defended well, and with 2 scored goals in each half, Udinese has won this match 2-4. Udinese’s offense might not be among the best in the league, but their defense has been solid, and that is the reason why Udinese is so far away from the relegation zone. De Paul is the leading goalscorer for Udinese with 8 goals, while Pereyra added 4 goals. De Paul also added 8 assists, while Pereyra added 7 assists. Jajalo, Pussetto, Deulofeu, Braaf, and Nestorovski are all injured, while Musso is suspended because of the yellow cards. Overall, it was a decent season for a team like Udinese, and I think they have done really well despite having a weak offense.
Juventus on the other hand is having a really bad season for the team they are, and once again, Juventus got knocked out of the Champions League a lot sooner than they wanted. Juventus has lost only 1 of their last 6 games, but they have dropped a spot in the Serie A standings. Juventus is now in 4th place with 66 points, 65 scored goals, and 30 conceded goals, but they have the same number of points as Napoli ahead of them, and Milan beneath them. Ronaldo is the leading goalscorer for Juventus with 25 goals, but the rumors of him leaving the club are getting louder with each game, and to be honest, I don’t think they will miss him in Juventus. Cuadrado has 10 assists to his name. There are no injuries in Juventus right now, but Demiral is still questionable for this match. Juventus was playing against Fiorentina in their last game, and they have had 68% of ball possession, 1 shot on goal, 2 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and a solid 88% of the correct passes. Juventus has conceded a goal from the penalty spot in the 29th minute, but Morata has tied the score in the 46th minute, which was the final result of this game. Certainly, a disappointment for Juventus. Not only Juventus will not be winning the title in Serie A this season, which is something they did a lot over the years, but Juventus is also in danger of not qualifying for the Champions League, and it will be a tough job for them to stay in 4th place.
Udinese is on a 3-game losing streak at home, and the trends are on Juventus’ side in this matchup. Juventus has been solid on the road this season, but not dominant, and I think Udinese will have a say in this. Juventus has been far from convincing in their games, but I think they will get a win here.
