Udinese form and stats

When playing at home in the Serie A, Udinese have managed 4 wins, 8 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 14 games.

No payout for Udinese in their previous match, an away game at Roma that ended in defeat 0-3. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Pereyra for missing a penalty kick versus Roma in the 69th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome. Midfield player Walace got a match rating of 7.1 in that game, the max score being 10. Walace dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 62 successful passes (of 66 total).

Before that, Udinese drew at home versus Monza.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Udinese's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 2 matches, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Udinese have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Dacia Arena with 24 goals in 14 league matches. 17 goals have been conceded.

Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Sampdoria.

Cremonese have another match away from home in just four days, a Coppa Italia game versus Fiorentina. A gruelling schedule for the visiting team!
