Our prediction for this Coppa Italia match:
Juventus will be aiming to build on the Serie A triumph over Roma when they welcome Udinese at their Allianz Stadium in the Coppa Italia last 16. The Bianconeri have been in a splendid form in the Italian top flight of late, with the team recording a win in each of their last four league fixtures. Maurizio Sarri’s men are eager to defend their trophy, but they have big ambitions for the Coppa Italia as well.
Despite the fact that Sarri is likely to mix the squad against Udinese, home win should be considered. Gonzalo Higuain is widely expected to return to the starting line-up for the hosts. The Zebrette, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive win in all competitions. However, Juventus are likely to pose a much bigger threat for Udinese than their previous rivals. When the two teams met in Turin in December Juve emerged triumphant.
