Udinese - Cagliari predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.20, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 3.82 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

Udinese’s defeat in the previous round was to be expected, frankly. They played as visitors against a considerably stronger team - Sassuolo . They were already trailing behind during half-time, and things only went down from there on, resulting in a compelling 3:1 defeat.

With a price of 1.62 on them winning at home, Cagliari’s previous game was a completely one-sided affair. They were already behind at halftime and ultimately lost 0:2 – a rather predictable outcome if Serie A betting tips and odds are to be believed.

Udinese’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Serie A matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The closest goal for Udinese currently is to try and move up to a Europa League qualifying spot. Though we’re still early in the season, this match is a notable obstacle standing in their way.

Cagliari are 2 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. It’s too early to make any strong claims about their form this year, but most bookies are sceptical about their chances at Udinese. They’ll need to work hard if they want to end the season on a high note.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Cagliari suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Udinese secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Sunday.

Sunday's matchup will feature both teams at full strength, allowing for a fair and competitive game.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.20 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
