Cagliari vs Udinese prediction, preview & betting tips – 09/05/2026

Cagliari will host Udinese in the upcoming Serie A round on Saturday, 9 May.

While the guests are secure in their mid-table position, Cagliari are still not fully clear of relegation, but can the hosts get what they need from this match?

Cagliari vs Udinese key stats

• Both teams have scored in 59% of Udinese's away games in Serie A this season.
• Cagliari have won their last two home games and have managed to win seven points from their last four matches in the league.
• Sebastiano Esposito is Cagliari's top scorer in Serie A this season with six goals.

Cagliari vs Udinese preview: Will Cagliari get the important points?

Cagliari enter this match hoping to get the win that could potentially secure their survival in the league this season. They are currently 16th in the standings, two spots above the relegation zone, with nine points more than Cremonese, the first team in it.

So, they are pretty much already safe, but to mathematically confirm this, they need at least a point from this match. Of course, Cremonese's failure to win their game would do the same, but Cagliari would certainly prefer to do the job themselves.

They are missing Alessandro Deiola, Riyad Idrissi, Gennarro Borreli, Mattia Felici, Joseph Liteta, Juan Rodriguez, and Leonardo Pavoletti, who are all injured, while Luca Mazzitelli, Othniel Raternik, and Juan Rodriguez are considered questionable for this game.

On the other hand, Udinese are safely tucked in the middle of the standings for a while now and they are bound to finish the season in there, unable to move much up or down.

That being said, they have been in good form recently, winning three of their last six matches and their form away from home has been particularly impressive since they are on a four-game unbeaten run on the road.

Udinese will have to manage without Christian Kabasele in this game, who is suspended. Also, Alessandro Zanoli is out with an injury, while Jordan Zemura is doubtful.

Whispers predicts: Cagliari 2-1 Udinese

Given that we saw both teams score often in the most recent meetings between Cagliari and Udinese, both teams to score at 10/11 odds sounds like a smart bet for this match.

On top of that, we would back Cagliari to win at 8/5 odds, mostly due to the fact that they will have a much stronger motive in this game than Udinese since Cagliari are still fighting to secure their top-flight status for next season. Furthermore, they have done well lately with seven points from their last four games in Serie A.

If things go the way we expect and Cagliari are able to win by scoring multiple goals, their best scorer this season, Sebastiano Esposito, is a good choice to score at any time, especially at 3/1 odds.
