Udinese vs Pisa prediction, H2H and probable lineups — January 10, 2026
As part of the 20th round of the Italian Serie A, Udinese will take on Pisa. The match will be played in Udine on Saturday, January 10. Kick-off is set for 15:00 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the game’s goal tally.
Match preview
Udinese have been showing character and a drive for attacking football, which is reflected in their recent results. The team scores consistently, but also makes plenty of defensive errors.
In recent outings, the Zebras have spared no favorites, picking up points against Lazio and sensationally defeating Napoli, indicating a positive trend under pressure. However, their high-tempo approach often leaves them exposed to counterattacks.
At home, Udinese play with more freedom and aggression, aiming to control possession and press high up the pitch. It’s in front of their own fans that they most often create dangerous chances and exploit the flanks for attacking runs.
It’s worth noting that Udinese, often neglecting defense, have conceded more goals than any other Serie A side. In the last round, Runjaic’s men delivered a stellar away performance against Torino and deservedly took all three points. Interestingly, Nicolò Zaniolo netted his sixth goal of the season.
Pisa entered the 2025/26 campaign with the goal of Serie A survival, but have faced stiff competition. Alberto Gilardino, who replaced Filippo Inzaghi before the season, is struggling to keep the team in the fight.
The modest newcomers are battling for points at the bottom of the table, and recent results show that Pisa often struggle to play assertively against more established opponents. Pisa have issues both at the back and up front—only Parma and Lecce have scored fewer goals.
In recent rounds, Pisa have played a few high-scoring matches, managing to trouble their opponents even while conceding several goals. This reflects the team’s character and their desire to attack rather than sit back, but they clearly lack consistency in this approach.
So far in Serie A, Pisa have managed just one win, with half of their games ending in draws. Their current position at the bottom is a major concern, but there are still plenty of matches left to try and turn things around.
Match facts
- Udinese have won just one of their last four matches.
- Pisa are winless in eight consecutive games.
- Five of Pisa’s last six away matches have ended in draws.
- Udinese average 1 goal per game at home, while Pisa average 1.25 goals per game away.
Probable lineups
- Udinese: Okoye, Solé, Kabasele, Kristensen, Zanoli, Kamara, Ekkelenkamp, Karlström, Ehizibue, Davis, Zaniolo.
- Pisa: Šemper, Coppola, Canestrelli, Caracciolo, Angori, Touré, Marin, Aebischer, Laurienté, Tramoni, Nzola.
H2H
- Half of the head-to-head meetings between these teams have ended in draws.
- Udinese have not beaten Pisa at home since 1984.
Prediction
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches this season and neither is known for their defensive solidity. Udinese are aggressive at home, while Pisa aren’t afraid to respond in attack even away from home (12 of Gilardino’s team’s 13 goals have come on the road). Given these trends, a bet on over 2 goals looks like a logical and well-founded choice.
