Udinese to Win
Winning four of their last ten fixtures gives Udinese a 40% chance of winning this game according to the statistics. Salernitana on the other side have not won their last two to away games in Serie A.
Over 2.5 Goals
The average goals scored in Udinese’s last ten matches is 3.90 while Salernitana’s is 2.30. Last season 55% of Udinese’s Serie A fixtures and Salernitana’s 58% of all games produced over 2.5 goals.
Udinese to Score First
While playing at home, Udinese scored first in ten of their 19 matches while Salernitana conceded first in 63% of their away games. In three of the last four h2h meetings, Udinese opened the scoring.
Udinese
It was a courageous start, to say the least for Udinese on the opening day of Serie A despite losing to champions AC Milan. The Bianconeri took the lead after two minutes and finished the first half with a draw. However, they couldn’t handle the Milan attack in the second leg.
Udinese finished 12th last season despite having some very interesting results. To point out, coach Andrea Sottil’s men drew with Milan and Lazio in all four games. But they also lost to Salernitana and Spezia which shows that Sottil must work on his team’s inconsistency in the new season.
Salernitana
Playing against the big clubs is not Salernitana’s favorite thing to do as we saw last season when they lost 11 of the 12 games played against the top-six teams. And the trend continued in the first round when the Garnets lost to Roma narrowly by 0-1.
That was Salernitana’s second defeat in Serie A after they lost to Udinese at home on the final day of the last term. One positive for coach Davide Nicola is the fact that they grabbed all three points in their last visit to the Dacia Arena and a similar result on Saturday will be most welcomed.
Udinese played a great match on an opening day against Milan and troubled the champions with their 31 dangerous attacks. Udinese on the other side had just two shots on target the whole game against Roma. Hence, we predict Udinese to win this one on Saturday.
