Juventus will host Udinese at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday, 18 May 2025, in a crucial Serie A match with significant implications for the hosts. Juventus, currently fourth in the league standings, are focused on securing their Champions League qualification, while Udinese, positioned 12th, have nothing to play for. Both teams enter this fixture following draws, but Juventus's strong home record of 10 wins this season contrasts sharply with Udinese's struggles on the road, having achieved only one away victory in 18 attempts.
Historically, Juventus have dominated this fixture, winning 42 out of 60 meetings, including nine of the last 12 encounters. Their superiority at the Allianz Stadium is even more pronounced, with 24 victories in the last 30 home games against Udinese. The most recent match between these teams ended in a comfortable two-goal win for Juventus, further emphasising their psychological advantage. However, with an average of 1.6 goals per game in this rivalry, fans might witness another closely contested match.
Recent performances highlight Juventus's inconsistency, with two wins, two draws, and one loss in their last five matches. Udinese, on the other hand, have managed only one win during the same period. Key players include Juventus's top scorer Dusan Vlahovic, with nine goals, and Udinese's Lorenzo Lucca, who has netted 11 times this season. Juventus's tendency to score late goals—21% of their total coming in the final 15 minutes—could be a decisive factor in this encounter.
This match presents a pivotal moment for the hosts. Juventus aim to strengthen their position in the top four. Will they maintain their dominance, or can Udinese defy expectations in Turin? The stage is set for an exciting clash under the lights at the Allianz Stadium.

Juventus vs Udinese Betting Predictions
Primary Bet:Home Win @ 19/50
Juventus’s impressive home record and historical superiority over Udinese make the home win an excellent betting option. Juventus have triumphed in 24 of their last 30 home fixtures against Udinese and are enjoying a strong run at home this season, with 10 wins, 7 draws, and just 1 defeat. Furthermore, they are on form, having secured victories in their last three home Serie A matches. In contrast, Udinese are struggling, with only 1 win in their last 5 Serie A outings. At odds of 19/50, backing Juventus for a "home win" offers solid value given their dominance and current momentum.
Secondary Bet:Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
The secondary bet on "over 2.5 goals" is supported by a 71.75% probability, underpinned by Juventus’s average of 1.72 goals per home match and Udinese’s 1 goal per game away. While historical meetings between these sides average 1.6 goals per match, Juventus’s recent attacking displays suggest a higher-scoring affair could be on the cards. At odds of 10/11, this market presents good value, though bettors should be mindful of occasional scoring inconsistencies from both teams. Juventus’s attacking strength and Udinese’s defensive vulnerabilities make this an enticing secondary option.
