As part of the 25th round of the Italian championship, Udinese will host Cagliari, and our resource has published an exclusive prediction for this event.
Udinese
It's challenging for the Friulians to win over neutral fans; the team has long played uneventful football, and this season, such a style has proven to be rather ineffective. Udinese currently sits 15th in the league, with just a two-point cushion above the relegation zone. In the last round, the team achieved a sensational and crucial away victory against the formidable Juventus, with a scoreline of 1-0, thus breaking a streak of five winless matches.
Cagliari
The Sardinians have only recently returned to the elite after a year-long absence, but their performance is subpar, as they occupy the second-to-last position. They lag behind the 17th-placed team by two points. In the last round, Cagliari suffered a 1-3 defeat at home against Lazio, marking their fourth consecutive loss in the league. The battle for survival lies ahead, as competitors are closely packed, and the team needs to improve their defensive game, having conceded 45 goals in 24 matches.
