Udinese form and stats

Udinese have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-1-6 (8 played). Udinese has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

There were no winners in Udinese's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 1-1 vs Napoli (placed 8th). Prior to that match, a home win 4-0 against Bologna in the Coppa Italia.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with Udinese as the away team, we found three results. Statistics from these were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats. The outsiders lost 3 of these games by at least two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Udinese as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. Udinese have conceded 18 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Juventus - Udinese 3-1 earlier this season. Juventus-Udinese H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Juventus 7 wins, Udinese 1 win, 2 draws. 5 of these ten matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
