Udinese form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Udinese have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 15 games. The Udinese manager L. Gotti might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Ahead of that match, Udinese lost 0-1 at home to Torino.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Udinese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won four, drawn two and lost four.

Udinese are traveling soon after this match as the Serie A match at Benevento awaits in four days.

Udinese have scored 12 league goals here from 15 matches, not a lot. From these home matches, Udinese have conceded only 14 goals.

Cagliari form and stats

Cagliari have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 2-4-9 (15 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Cagliari who now has to deal with a five game losing streak. Sampdoria was the last time a defeat was avoided. Cagliari seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Cagliari are looking to quickly end their 187 minutes long goal drought in the Serie A.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Inter wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Cagliari playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Cagliari wins, two draws and three defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Roma in just four days.

Cagliari have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 15 league away games 16 goals have been scored. Cagliari have conceded 25 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Cagliari - Udinese 1-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Udinese five wins, one draw and Cagliari four victories. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
