Udinese form and stats

5-3-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie A numbers at home for Udinese, who have the fewest scored goals (12) at home in Serie A, so far this season. Game days at Dacia Arena have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Udinese as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.

Happy days for Udinese in their previous game, a Serie A match away at Benevento (placed 18th) that ended with a 4-2 victory. Ahead of that match, Udinese lost 0-1 at home to Cagliari.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Udinese have scored 12 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Udinese have conceded only 15 goals.

Juventus form and stats

6 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Juventus playing as the away team in the Serie A this season.

Juventus has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Fiorentina for a Serie A game that ended a draw (1-1). Before that, Juventus secured a home win against Parma with the score 3-1.

As mentioned above, Juventus drew the match against Fiorentina. Manager A. Pirlo brought on Álvaro Morata to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

Juventus are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 28 times in 16 away games so far. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Juventus have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
