The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Udinese has become apparent recently. A glance at their last six games shows that this has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have managed a goal aggregate of 10 and Udinese have scored 1. We shall soon see whether or not that trend will be continued on here.

Taking a look at their past results, Udinese:

• have not lost to Cagliari in games played away from home for the previous 5 matches in the league. A solid away record against them.
• are without an away win for the past 4 league matches.

📋 Team News: Cagliari

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just the lone fitness concern for the Cagliari manager Davide Nicola to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Yerry Mina (Hamstring injury) won’t play.

We are thinking that Casteddu / Rossoblu look set to use the 3-5-2 system, beginning the first half with Elia Caprile, Gabriele Zappa, Jose Luis Palomino, Sebastiano Luperto, Nadir Zortea, Antoine Makoumbou, Matteo Prati, Michel Ndary Adopo, Tommaso Augello, Roberto Piccoli and Zito Luvumbo.

📰 Team News: Udinese

Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Florian Thauvin (Arch problems), Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (muscular problems), Isaak Touré (Knee bruise) and Lorenzo Lucca (Calf problems) can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that Bianconeri Friuliani seem most likely to play in a 3-5-1-1 formation, starting the game with Maduka Okoye, Thomas Kristensen, Jaka Bijol, Oumar Solet, Rui Modesto, Arthur Atta, Sandi Lovric, Jesper Karlstroem, Hassane Kamara, Iker Bravo and Keinan Davis.

💡 Prediction

We believe that Udinese may not find it easy to put one past this Cagliari side who will likely just have the edge.

We’re therefore anticipating a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Cagliari when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be interesting.
