Juventus vs Udinese Prediction 3 December 2025

📢 What to expect from the clash between Juventus and Udinese in the Coppa Italia Round of 16 at the Allianz Stadium? The "Old Lady" boasts a stronger lineup and is gradually hitting their stride, yet they still lack consistency. Meanwhile, Udinese alternates between wins and losses but can pose a challenge to any opponent and certainly won't go down without a fight. Moreover, cup matches are always unpredictable. 

Head-to-Head

📊 The head-to-head record between Juventus and Udinese spans 38 matches in recent years. The "Old Lady" holds a clear advantage with 27 victories, 4 draws, and 7 defeats. Their most recent encounter was on October 29, where Juventus secured a convincing 3-1 win. This result was particularly significant for the Turin side as it ended their prolonged winless streak of eight matches, having not won since September 13.

Juventus Turin Team Overview

⚪ Juventus are gradually regaining their form after a challenging period. The team remains unbeaten in their last seven matches, leaving behind a previous run of eight games without a win. While consistency is still lacking, with only four victories in this stretch—three of which were by a single goal—the overall trend for the Turin side is positive. Last weekend, the "Old Lady" secured a 2-1 home win over Cagliari, despite conceding first. Juventus appeared significantly stronger throughout the game; aside from the goal in the 26th minute, the visitors had few opportunities, and the hosts turned the match around before halftime.

⚫ As for the Coppa Italia, Juventus are just now entering the competition. Thanks to their fourth-place finish last season, they bypassed the round of 32 and will begin their campaign in the round of 16, where they will face Udinese.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview

⚪ Udinese have been on a rollercoaster ride recently, struggling to find consistency. The "Little Zebras" have alternated between wins and losses in their last seven matches, with the caliber of their opponents having little impact on the outcomes. Last weekend, the club secured an important victory by defeating Parma away (2-0). Although the match was evenly contested, Udinese showed a bit more sharpness (3-1 in created chances), making the result a fair reflection of the game.

⚫ In the previous round of the Coppa Italia, the team faced Palermo, who compete in Serie B. Despite a noticeable difference in class, Udinese only managed a narrow win (2-1). The match was quite balanced overall, with Udinese simply making better use of their opportunities and being more clinical in the final third.

Juventus Turin

📣 Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti, following the match against Cagliari (2-1), noted that the team started off hesitantly but managed to turn the game around: "We began a bit timidly, then responded well and took control of the situation. In the second half, we played better, creating several chances that we should have converted. We need to be more clinical in front of goal, but overall, I'm pleased with the team's performance. Openda and David are two strikers with different characteristics: one is more of a target man, while the other links the play better."

🚫 Juventus are facing significant squad issues. Gleison Bremer is recovering from a meniscus injury and is expected back by mid-January. Dusan Vlahovic will be sidelined until the end of December due to a thigh injury. Carlo Pinsoglio and Daniele Rugani are anticipated to be available by mid-December. Arkadiusz Milik remains out with a calf injury, with no clear timeline for his return. Goalkeeper Mattia Perin is also doubtful as he is experiencing physical discomfort.

Udinese Calcio

📣 Udinese head coach Kosta Runjaic expressed his satisfaction with his team's organization and discipline following their away match against Parma (2-0): "I'm very pleased. We had an excellent first half, and although the second half was more challenging... In Serie A, you always need to maintain focus, and today we were very solid defensively. Playing in Parma is never easy. Zaniolo took his chance – and it was a really important goal."

🚫 Udinese are facing fewer squad issues compared to Juventus. Thomas Kristensen will be sidelined until mid-December as he recovers from a muscle injury. Hassan Kamara's participation remains doubtful due to a foot injury.

⚽️ Goal Prediction

⚽️ Goal Prediction

This season, Juventus have been facing significant defensive challenges. Even during their seven-match unbeaten streak, they managed just one clean sheet—in a goalless draw against Torino (0-0), where the opposition barely crossed the halfway line. In all other matches, the "Old Lady's" defense has been prone to errors. Given the instability in Turin's backline, betting on an Udinese goal seems like a reasonable decision.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Juventus and Udinese consistently create chances in front of goal and frequently earn corners. The "Old Lady" averages 5.0 corners per match, while the "Little Zebras" average 4.8, ranking 7th and 8th in Serie A, respectively. In their last head-to-head clash a month ago in Turin, the teams combined for 12 corners, making a bet on over 8.5 corners a logical choice.
