Cagliari will take on Udinese in Serie A on Saturday, 3 May in a match between two teams who are simply just seeing the season out.
Both clubs are in a position where they are too far away from the top half of the table to even think about European football, but also too far clear of relegation for that to be a consideration. In essence, both sets of players are already thinking about their summer holidays.

Cagliari vs Udinese prediction: The hosts to get the win
Key stats
- Cagliari have lost just two of their last five matches in Serie A.
- Udinese have lost their last three away matches in Serie A.
- Fewer than three goals have been scored in three of Udinese's last four matches.
Correct score prediction: Cagliari 2-0 Udinese
Neither of these two teams have been in great form recently, but Udinese's record over the past couple of months is startling. If there were an extra month or two still to play, then they would seriously be worried about relegation.

- DRAW: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%

Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Udinese
The reason why Udinese aren't priced as complete outsiders for this clash is due to their impressive recent record in this fixture. The Bianconeri are unbeaten in their last six matches with Cagliari (three wins, three draws) and won 2-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Cagliari's last win over Udinese was away from home in 2021.

Udinese preview: An injury-ravaged squad
Much of Udinese's dramatic dip in form over the past couple of months can be attributed to a string of injuries. For this one, they are missing Florian Thauvin, Jordan Zemura, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Lorenzo Lucca and Isaak Toure. Martin Payero and Kingsley Ehizibue also miss out due to suspension.
Predicted lineup: Okoye (GK), Kristensen, Bijol, Solet, Modesto, Karlstrom, Atta, Lovric, Kamara, Bravo, Davis

Player to watch: Roberto Piccoli
Things could look very different for Cagliari this season if they didn't have Roberto Piccoli, as the forward has been by far and away their most productive player at the top of the pitch. Piccoli is just one goal away from hitting double digits in Serie A for the first time in his career. Can he get to that milestone on Saturday?
