In this preview, we see the Coppa Italia Round of 16 bring us a fascinating all-Serie A clash as Juventus welcome Udinese to the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday night. The Bianconeri are finding their rhythm under Luciano Spalletti, coming off a morale-boosting 2-1 league victory over Cagliari and a thrilling European win against Bodo/Glimt. With the Turin giants looking to reclaim domestic silverware, this knockout tie represents a crucial step in their season.
Udinese, meanwhile, travel to Turin with renewed confidence after snapping a two-match losing streak with a solid 2-0 away victory at Parma. While the Friulani have struggled for consistency this season, their ability to pull off results on the road makes this match preview an intriguing one for bettors. The visitors will be eager to avenge their 3-1 defeat to the Old Lady in October, though the task at the Allianz Stadium remains one of the toughest in Italian football.

Key Stats
Here are three hot stats for punters to watch out for in this clash:
- Dominant Head-to-Head: Juventus have won their last three consecutive meetings against Udinese, scoring a combined 8 goals and conceding just 1 in those fixtures before the October 3-1 win.
- Yildiz on Fire: Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz is in peak form, having scored a brace in his last outing against Cagliari and netting against Udinese earlier this season.
- Away Goals Trend: Despite some recent losses, Udinese have found the net in the majority of their away trips this season, including scoring at the Allianz Stadium in their October league meeting.
Correct Score Prediction
Juventus 3-1 Udinese
I expect Juventus to continue their offensive resurgence and secure a comfortable passage to the quarter-finals. The Bianconeri have found their scoring boots recently, netting five goals in their last two matches. While Udinese showed defensive improvement against Parma, their backline has been vulnerable against top-tier opposition, conceding three goals to both Juventus and Bologna in the last month. With the home crowd behind them and Yildiz in scintillating form, a 3-1 victory for the hosts feels like the most logical outcome. Bet on Juventus to win 3-1 at high odds here

Team News Home
Juventus enter this tie with a few lingering injury concerns but a deep squad to cope with them. Defensive rock Gleison Bremer and striker Arkadiusz Milik remain long-term absentees. Juan Cabal is also sidelined with a thigh injury. Teun Koopmeiners is fully fit and expected to pull the strings in midfield. Kenan Yildiz, fresh off his match-winning performance against Cagliari, is expected to start and could be the difference-maker again. Expect Mattia Perin to take the gloves as the designated “Cup goalkeeper” in place of Michele Di Gregorio.
Team News Away
Udinese travel without their main target man due to suspension, which is a significant blow. The team’s key attacker remains a major doubt with a muscle issue, while defender Isaak Toure is nursing a knock. English striker Keinan Davis is expected to lead the line in Lucca’s absence, hoping to replicate the goalscoring form that kept Udinese up last season.
