Juventus take on the visitors Udinese in the round 1/8-finals of Coppa Italia. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 2nd at Allianz Stadium (Turin).
Juventus remain highly unstable and largely unsuccessful. Remarkably, their best recent achievement — winning the Coppa Italia and finishing third in Serie A — came under Allegri after his return to Turin, yet he was dismissed in spring 2024. What followed were a series of poor coaching appointments: Thiago Motta failed completely, and even Tudor, who briefly lifted the team back into the top four, was fired after ten winless matches and three consecutive defeats. This shift did provide a short burst of momentum, resulting in a couple of victories, but Spalletti's second match in charge, against Sporting CP, ended in a draw, as did the derby with Torino. After the international break, Juventus also shared the points with long-time rivals Fiorentina, though they managed to edge Cagliari 2–1 soon after. Their Champions League clash with Bodo/Glimt also ended with a narrow win, finishing 3–2. Additionally, their recent run shows a recurring pattern of tight, hard-fought matches rather than dominant performances. At the same time, the team’s inconsistency from week to week continues to prevent them from building a reliable upward trend.

Udinese are performing well by their own standards. The Zebras haven't shown ambitions beyond mid-table security in many years. In that regard, the club are satisfied with the work of Runjaic, who arrived before last season and ultimately collected 44 Serie A points, securing 12th place. This year, the team from Friuli look even more solid, comfortably positioned around the middle of the table while balancing wins, draws, and defeats in roughly equal measure. After the international break they were outplayed by an in-form Bologna side, suffering a heavy 0–3 defeat. However, they quickly bounced back by beating a more modest Parma team with a comfortable two-goal margin. Furthermore, Udinese have shown improved discipline in defence this season, helping them stay competitive even in difficult fixtures. Their overall form suggests they are capable of challenging stronger sides, provided the match tempo suits their style.
In the last eight meetings, Udinese have won only once — Juventus claimed victory in all the remaining matches of this stretch. The hosts appear to be gaining momentum, and a confident home win is the logical expectation. The recommended bet is Juventus with a –1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win with -1.0 handicap.
