Udinese, Recent FormUdinese will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 1-0 away win against Juventus in their last league encounter. Their share of possession in that meeting was 30%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Juventus, who had 14 shots on goal with 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 12 games at Stadio Friuli.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. Their home form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 7 draws in 12 home league games.
Cagliari, Recent FormCagliari will not be too troubled by their 3-1 home defeat against Lazio, given the latter currently sit 11 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they recorded 45 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 5 of their 12 shots on goal.
Manager Claudio Ranieri will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 6 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 11 of their 12 games this season.
With 4 defeats and just 1 victory in their last 6 league matches, they have had a poor run and will need to turn that around if they want to start climbing the table.
Marco Mancosu will be hoping to create problems for Udinese in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cagliari.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
Casteddu have been consistent in front of goal during their last 3 league outings away to Udinese, having found the back of the net with a goal on each occasion.
Cagliari have failed to manage a victory in their last 3 encounters in the league against Udinese.
Udinese manager Gabriele Cioffi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jaka Bijol (Sprained ankle), Gerard Deulofeu (Cruciate ligament) and Enzo Ebosse (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Claudio Ranieri has a number of injury concerns in his Cagliari squad to contend with: Marco Mancosu (Knee), Gaetano Oristanio (Foot), Marko Rog (Cruciate ligament), Eldor Shomurodov (Foot) and Ibrahim Sulemana (Knee)
