Juventus have been one of the more frustrating teams for bettors in Serie A so far this season.
The Old Lady clearly have the ability to challenge for the title, but draws are increasingly common on their record.
A third draw in four matches was picked up in a midweek clash against Parma, leaving them six points adrift of Napoli at the summit.
However, Saturday’s clash against Udinese presents an excellent opportunity to respond. The hosts have suffered three defeats in their last five, which includes two losses in their last three.
Odds
Juventus will be the clear favorites on the moneyline this weekend, as they chase a return to winning ways. Udinese aren’t out of the contest based on their odds of +385.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Udinese | +385 |
