Juventus will look for their second win on the Serie A season when they receive Udinese next Saturday 13th, 02:45 PM ET, at the Juventus Stadium in Turin for the match day 2 of the Italian Calcio.

The Juventus vs Udinese odds have ‘La Vecchia Signora’ as favorite for winning the game listed -225, while Udinese is + 600 and the draw is +333.

For this game, Juventus arrives as sixth on the table after one game and one win against Chievo Verona. They have +1 on their goal difference balance. On the other hand, Udinese is on the third place after winning Empoli on the first season match with +2 on the goal difference balance.

These teams have played 38 times in the league and Juventus dominates the series with 26 wins and 5 draws. In fact, on the last five Seria A meetings, Juventus have won without conceding goals in the last three.

For this game, Massimiliano Allegri team needs to take care of Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale, who scored two goals against Empoli and is the top goal scorer on the Calcio after the first week.

“His preparation [for the new season] was excellent, and it has immediately resulted in great form,” said the Udinese coach, Andrea Stramaccioni. “He strikes me as a leader, thanks to his ability to be at the service of the team.”

Back in the Juventus, the Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal is ruled out of the game after presenting a light string on the semitendinosus muscle in his right thigh last Wednesday.
