Juventus vs Udinese: Serie A Prediction (19.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 19 at 01:45 WIB, at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, the local football club Juventus will host Udinese in the 37th round, the penultimate match of the 2024-2025 Italian Serie A season. The hosts are currently successfully defending the fourth place, which grants a Champions League spot, from Lazio, Roma, and Bologna’s challenge. The guests are in 12th place and have no competitive goals for the remaining two games of the championship.

Let’s make a prediction for the Juventus – Udinese match considering the very high motivation of the hosts, who are also the clear favorites according to bookmakers. You can bet on a Juventus win at odds of 1.42, a draw at 4.60, and an Udinese win at 8.80. The total goals over 2.5 is rated at 1.97, which means a slightly below average expected scoring. Both teams to score bets are offered at 2.21 odds.

Juventus

Igor Tudor has so far fulfilled the condition of keeping a Champions League spot to continue his career with the Turin side, albeit working on the edge. However, the club’s management is looking for a more renowned replacement for the Croatian. Insiders report that the task has been set to bring back Antonio Conte from Napoli, who coached Juventus very successfully from 2011 to 2014.

Meanwhile, the “Old Lady” has dropped four points in the last two rounds. The 1-1 draws occurred in away matches against Bologna and Lazio. Considering these are direct competitors for fourth place, the losses were mutual. But in the remaining two matches against Udinese and Venezia, only victories are acceptable.

Udinese

In the last nine rounds, Costa Runjaic’s team lost six matches with just one win. It’s obvious that the “Little Zebras” without tournament motivation are just marking time. The away win over Cagliari 2-1 was just an episode. In the previous round, Udinese lost 1-2 at home to Monza, for whom this was only the third victory of the entire championship.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

Since 2022, the teams have met six times. Juventus confidently leads with five wins to one. Interestingly, in all six games, at least one team left the field with a clean sheet. In the first round of the current Serie A season, the “Old Lady” was stronger away, winning 2-0.

Prediction

Considering the history of head-to-head meetings, it is not surprising that bookmakers do not believe both teams will score. It’s hard to expect a very sharp, open game, so we bet on Juventus to win and the total goals under 3.5 at odds of 1.95.
