Udinese vs Cagliari Predictions

• Udinese have lost just one of their last five league games, despite facing Lazio, AC Milan, Roma, and Napoli in a tough run of fixtures.
• Cagliari have lost three consecutive Serie A games, all to nil.
• The Zebrette are unbeaten in four home matches, winning two and drawing the others, against Lazio and Roma.

Zebrette show they can compete with the best

Despite an incredibly tough run of fixtures pitting them against Lazio, Milan, Roma, and Napoli within a matter of weeks, Gabriele Cioffi’s Udinese have lost just one of their last five matches, showing their ability to compete with stern opponents and giving them a healthy 11-point cushion to Serie A’s relegation zone.

Udinese have certainly not been solid of late, seeing both teams score in each of their last five games, though it should be said that they faced four of the league’s eight most lethal attacks in that time. Cioffi’s men do boast a strong home record, however, going unbeaten in their last four matches at the Dacia Arena despite facing both of the Roman giants at home recently.

Relegation-threatened Cagliari, meanwhile, have lost three consecutive games to end their mini revival and leave them just three points clear of trouble (having played one game more than 18^th-placed Venezia). The Sardinian side have won just three of their 15 league away games this season, and lost December’s return fixture 4-0 in Udine shortly after Cioffi took the reigns.

Hosts can plunge Cagliari into greater trouble

Despite Udinese seeing both teams score in each of their last five games, Cagliari’s run of three consecutive shutout losses should be enough to turn punters away from that market. Instead, backing a decent Udinese side for a home win could represent the best play.

Meanwhile, a 2-1 win for the hosts could represent a decent correct score prediction, with Udinese averaging well over a concession per game this season.
