Juventus v Udinese: Juventus to win at 13/20 (1.65) with Sportingbet
Juventus remain the only side unbeaten in Serie A and in midweek enjoyed another home victory, 3-0 over Roma in the Coppa Italia and they look good value at 13/20 (1.65) with Sportingbet to claim victory again. The Turin giants face a stern test on Friday against a Udinese side who are just three points behind them in third place. The two sides played out a goalless stalemate when they met in the reverse fixture just before Christmas.
Yet Udinese's defensive solidity has deteriorated in recent weeks with the side failing to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches, conceding three goals in losing their last away game at Genoa. At home, Udinese are formidable, away though they are beatable, and with Juve flying high, scoring goals and winning three of their last four games, the home victory can be backed with confidence at 13/20 (1.65) with Sportingbet.
Roma v Bologna: Roma HT/FT 4/5 (1.80) with Sportingbet
Prior to the midweek defeat in the Coppa Italia to Juventus, which could have been different if the Giallorossi had taken their chances, Roma had been on a five matches winning run. In four of those five matches they had been winning at half-time and full-time, and the visit of Bologna should pose Luis Enrique's side few problems. The 4/5 (1.80) available on the half time/full time market with Sportingbet completes a tasty double.
Bologna have looked a little toothless going forward in recent weeks scoring just four goals in their last five games. Roma should record a comfortable victory and keep up their challenge for a European spot in Serie A.
The Double is available at 2/1 (3.0) with Sportingbet
