Udinese vs Cagliari Predictions

The hosts have a great record in Udine but face an improving Cagliari. I see a home win by a one-goal margin. I’m backing this to finish 2-1 to Udinese.

Cagliari Predicted Lineup

Udinese have won 5 of their last 6 home matches.
Udinese have 3 of their last 4 home Serie A matches by a 1-goal margin.
Cagliari have won just 3 of their last 27 away Serie A matches (16 defeats).
Cagliari have conceded in 7 of their last 8 away Serie A matches (15 goals leaked).

Head to Head

Udinese hold an impressive 26-12 advantage over Cagliari across 49 clashes with 11 draws.

The sides played out a 0-0 draw when they last met in February 2024.

Udinese Form & Team News

Udinese sit eighth in Serie A with four wins in eight rounds of action. After taking 10 points in the first four matches (DWWW), their league form has taken a dip (LLWL).

After three successive league wins, they lost 3-0 at Roma. A 3-1 win over Salernitana in the Coppa Italia was followed by a 3-2 home defeat to Inter Milan.

Before the FIFA break, they beat Lecce 1-0 at home. On Saturday, they lost 1-0 at AC Milan despite facing ten men for an hour.

Coach Kosta Runjaic has four injuries ahead of this match. Arthur Atta and Florian Thauvin are set to miss out in midfield.

Thomas Kristensen is an injury doubt at the back. Alexis Sanchez is expected to be absent in attack.

Udinese Predicted Lineup

Okoye; Kabasele, Bijol, Toure; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Zarraga, Zemura; Lucas, Davis.

Cagliari Form & Team News

Cagliari had just two points after five Serie A matches. Seven points in their last three league fixtures have seen the side move to 15th in the table.

After three straight losses, they beat Cremonese 1-0 in the Coppa Italia. A crucial 3-2 win followed at Parma as both sides put up 2.38 xG.

Their improvement continued with a 1-1 draw at Juventus thanks to an 88th-minute equaliser. Last Sunday, they beat Torino 3-2 at home after producing four ‘big chances’ in the second half.

Centre back Adam Obert is missing through a thigh injury. Midfielder Jakub Jankto should return from a knock.

Striker Leonardo Pavoletti has missed the last four matches and remains a doubt.

Cagliari Predicted Lineup

Scuffet; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Adopo, Makoumbou, Augello; Viola, Piccoli, Luvumbo.

Verdict

Udinese v Cagliari

I'm backing a Udinese win and a 2-1 correct score tip.
