Betting Tips for Today: Juventus capable of easing to a win over Udinese

The 2-1 win over Napoli last weekend has all but sealed another Scudetto for Juventus. The reigning champions now boast a 16-point advantage over their nearest title rivals ahead of Friday's clash with Udinese at the Allianz Stadium.

888Sport go just 3/10 (1.30) about a home win with the visitors priced at 17/2 (9.50) to spring what would be a sizable shock in Turin. The draw trades at 4/1 (5.0) with the same firm at the time of writing.

Even at such long odds, it's tough to make a case for Udinese taking anything from this game. Juventus have looked in superb form domestically this term, dropping just six points all season.

There is a chance that the hosts will have one eye on their midweek clash with Atletico Madrid where they trail 2-0 but even then, it's hard to see past a home win here.

The task for punters though, looks to be in identifying a wager that offers significant enough returns to appeal as a single selection - no easy assignment given how heavily Allegri's men are favoured.

As such, the best route looks to be backing a Juventus win while keeping a clean sheet, otherwise known as a win "to nil", which is 23/25 (1.92) with 888Sport.

Udinese have struggled badly on the road recently. The last time they scored an away goal in Serie A was mid-November in a 2-1 defeat at Empoli, a result that saw Julio Velazquez sacked as manager. Since then, it's been five consecutive blanks for Davide Nicola's men and they face their toughest game of the campaign next.

Not only do Juventus boast the best home record in the Italian top-flight, their tally of 16 goals conceded all season is also better than anyone else.

This selection has also paid out in the previous meeting between the pair as Allegri's side came out on top 2-0. That's a 5/1 (6.0) chance this time around with 888Sport. Overall, the pick would have been a winner in 15 of the 26 Serie A games Juventus have played this season.

Having conceded just eight times at home all season, backing Juve to come out on top while keeping a clean sheet certainly appeal at the current prices.
