2011-12-21 - Udinese vs Juventus

A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Udinese has a 100% home record but they will welcome Juventus who are still unbeaten in Serie A and will want to go back top after A.C Milan took their spot yesterday.

For the record, Francesco Guidolin’s Udinese side are a force to be feared on their home turf as so far they have won all their matches played there. In the process they ahve scored 14 and conceding just twice. That in effect is also the best home defensive record in Serie A.

Last Sunday, Udinese drew with Lazio 2-2 but the coach insisted that the big sides will eventually finish top of Udinese in the title race. Meanwhile Juventus went back to the top after beating Novara 2-0 but has since been overtaken by Milan who won last night away to Cagliari.

Antonio Conte’s side look good, but they have struggled on their last two away games it has to be said. Against Napoli and Roma where they had to fight hard for 3-3 and 1-1 draws respectively.

For the record, Juventus have kept a clean sheet at the Stadio Friuli on six occasions in the last 10 Serie A encounters here. And interestingly, Juve have failed to score in just two of them.

Team News :

Udinese will be without the suspended Mehdi Benatia, while the visitors Juventus are missing the injured Mirko Vucinic. Toto Di Natale will return for Udinese.

The visitors will have Arturo Vidal and Leonardo Bonucci back in the side after their suspension at the weekend. Alessandro Matri is also expected to be back after he was only used as a substitute in the Piedmont derby.

Possible lineups

Udiunese : Handanovic; Domizzi, Danilo, Ferronetti; Basta, Isla, Pinzi, Asamoah, Armero; Floro Flores, Di Natale

Juventus : Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pepe, Matri, Estigarribia (Quagliarella)

Predictions :

Take Juventus to defy the odds and give the 1/4 ball for the win here.
