SPAL form and stats

SPAL's results here at Stadio Paolo Mazza in the Serie A have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 9 defeats. With ten home Serie A games in a row without a win, the SPAL fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Parma game long ago, can be stopped today.

In their previous game, the manager L. Di Biagio led his SPAL to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Sampdoria. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Paolo Mazza. In the match before that, SPAL hosted Milan and drew the game 2-2.

The game against Sampdoria was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

SPAL are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Genoa awaits in three days.

SPAL aren't scoring a lot here at Stadio Paolo Mazza in the league, with only 13 goals from 14 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.

Udinese form and stats

Udinese have only collected 12 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 3-3-9 (15 played).

Udinese's last game was the home draw against Genoa (2-2). Preceding that game was the away victory against Roma with the score of 2-0.

It looked so good for Udinese vs Genoa, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Sampdoria in just three days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Udinese as they have only managed to score 13 times from 15 away games in the league. Udinese struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 26 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Udinese - SPAL 0-0. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: one - three - one (SPAL wins - draws - Udinese wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
