Udinese vs Juventus Prediction 22 August 2021
The first round of Serie A will give us an interesting confrontation between Udinese and Juventus.
Udinese are a tough middle-tier team in the Italian top league, closer to the relegation zone than to European competitions. In addition, the Zebras' manner of playing is very far from spectacular. In the summer, they got two wins in four friendly sparring matches, after which they defeated Ascoli 3-1 in the round of 64 of the national Cup.
At the end of July and beginning of August, Juventus were stronger than Cesena (3:1), Monza (2:1) and Atalanta (3:1), and lost 0:3 to Barcelona without a chance. Let us remind you that for the first time in a decade, the Turinians are not approaching the new campaign in the status of the Italian champions. A year ago, Bianconeri finished fourth with difficulty.
Nevertheless, Udinese are rarely a serious obstacle in the path of the Turinian giants. We think that it will be so this time as well, because the difference in class between the teams is still tangible.
