Juventus has historically been the most successful team in Serie A, with 36 championships in Italy's top flight. However, after finishing fourth in the Serie A table a season ago, the club fired Andrea Pirlo and hired back former manager Massimiliano Allegri. On Sunday, they'll begin their Serie A season at Stadio Friuli against Udinese. The latter finished 14th in the table last season, but it was enough to secure a 14th consecutive season in Serie A and now they'll look to capitalize on home-field advantage as underdogs.

Kick-off at Stadio Friuli in Udine is set for 12:30 p.m. ET. The latest Juventus vs. Udinese odds from Caesars Sportsbook list Juventus as the -220 (risk $220 to win $100) favorite on the money line. Udinese is a +650 underdog, while a draw would return +330. The over-under for total goals is 2.5. Sunday's match will be streamed live on Paramount+ with their must-have Premium plan.

Italian Serie A picks for Juventus vs. Udinese

Before you tune in to Saturday's matchup, you need to see the Juventus vs. Udinese picks from European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated over $36,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

Green is predicting that Juventus will win and at least two goals will be scored (-137). After last year's disappointing season, Juventus brought back Allegri, who guided the club to Serie A titles in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. They also brought in midfielder Manuel Locatelli from Sassuolo after he starred for Italy during Euro 2020.

Locatelli and Weston McKennie give them an exciting young pair of midfielders, and they can still be devastating with Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata. That pair combined to score 40 goals in Serie A last season, while Federico Chiesa also had eight goals and eight assists.

"Udinese finished 14th in Serie A last season after taking just one point from its final five games of the campaign. It ended up only seven points clear of the relegation zone," Green told SportsLine. "It looks weaker this time around, as it has not reinvested the cash it received from selling Rodrigo de Paul and Juan Musso."
