Odds: Udinese (9/2) Draw (14/5) Juventus (8/13)Gamingtips Prediction – Udinese 1:3 Juventus
Udinese come into this tie with a good defensive record of late – they have conceded 4 goals in their last 5 games and if they are to have any chance of winning, they will need to continue this run. Juventus have the best defensive record in Seria A – they have conceded just 22 goals in 32 games and have scored an impressive 69 goals. Udinese have scored 35 goals in 32 games and this has been their main problem this season – they will be looking to Di Natale & Lopez for goals on Monday evening if they are to have any chance of winning. Ultimately Juventus should have enough quality to overcome Udinese especially considering Juventus’ impressive defensive record.
