Two teams who are separated by goal difference and a place will clash at the Blue Energy Stadium in their matchday six encounter on Sunday. Both sides have similar results after five fixtures in the league, having recorded two wins, one draw and two losses so far.
Udinese were unbeaten in their first three league fixtures of the season, with two wins and a draw, but back-to-back losses against AC Milan and Sassuolo have derailed them.

Udinese vs Cagliari predictions: Udinese will be looking for their third straight win against the visiting side
Key stats
- Four of Udinese's last six matches returned goals from both sides.
- Four of Udinese's last six matches produced over 2.5 goals
- Two of Cagliari's last three matches returned at least three total goals
Correct score prediction: Udinese 1-1 Cagliari
In the last two meetings between the two teams, Udinese have emerged victorious in those games, scoring two goals in each of those encounters. That said, there is not a lot separating these teams, as they have had identical form since the start of the season.
With that in mind, this fixture has all the trappings of an encounter that could end in a stalemate. However, goals will be scored, but it is likely to be a low-scoring affair, and we predict a 1-1 draw.

Most recent H2Hs: Udinese have two wins on the bounce
Udinese have had the rub of the green in their last two meetings against the visitors, winning two successive fixtures against the Islanders. Nevertheless, their unceremonious loss against the newly-promoted Sassuolo has cast some shadow of doubt on their chances to earn maximum points in this contest.
Having established that, the results of both teams since the start of the season have mirrored each other, and it could be difficult to call a winner in this fixture.

Udinese preview: Can the home side claim a third successive win against the visitors
As earlier stated, the hosts have enjoyed better results in their head-to-head meetings, with two wins and three draws in regular time in their last five clashes.
Going into this clash, however, they will be without some players who are out due to injuries or on international duty. Iker Bravo and Nunziate Alessandro are away on international duty, while Maduka Okoye remains suspended.
Predicted lineup: Sava (GK), Kristensen, Palma, Solet, Zanoli, Piotrowski, Karlstrom, Attah, Zemura, Zaniolo & Davis
Last five matches
- Sassuolo 3-1 Udinese
- Udinese 2 -1 Palermo
- Udinese 0-3 AC Milan
- Pisa 0-1 Udinese
- Inter 1-2 Udinese
Cagliari preview: Cagliari are in search of their first win in three matches against the hosts
Cagliari will go into this fixture with two losses in their last two meetings against Udinese. However, the performance of the hosts in their last Serie A outing leaves much to be desired, and the visitors. Going into the encounter with the knowledge that they were below par in their last outing, Cagliari could be charged up for this fixture.
Predicted lineup: Caprile (GK), Luperto, Mina, Pedro, Obert, Folorunsho, Deiola, Adopo, Palestra, Esposito & Belotti
Last five matches
- Cagliari 0-2 Inter
- Cagliari 4-1 Frosinone
- Lecce 1 – 2 Cagliari
- Cagliari 2-0 Parma
- Napoli 1-0 Cagliari
Player to watch: Keinan Davis
Keinan Davis has struggled to make a lasting impression since his switch to Italian football, scoring sparingly, but he has managed to notch two goals in the current season. Going into this fixture, the Cagliari defence will have their hands full against the English man.
