Udinese hosts Cagliari in round 17 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, December 21st at Dacia Arena (Udine)
The problems of the hosts lie in a weak attack. Udinese simply does not have it. 11 goals for the entire distance is a very weak indicator. The defense is relatively reliable, except for the defeats to Roma and Atalanta. It is problematic to beat Udinese at home, but the Zebras don’t gain more victories. Perhaps something will change after the victory over Bologna in the national cup. Yet, Udinese is gaining an overwhelming number of points in the matches against middle peasants. It’s frankly difficult for the team to fight with leaders.

I'm not sure that the Sardinians will slow down after a bitter defeat to Lazio in the last round. There are no prerequisites for this so far, and being in the top five teams continues to delight the fans. Yes, the fourth place has been lost so far, and Cagliari gained only one victory in the last four rounds. There are some claims to the defense, but the visitors are still stable in the attack, and they left the field without a goal scored in only one match of Serie A, far back in the second round. Where should Cagliari earn points, if not in a match against one of the outsiders, albeit it will be played away?
We will watch the struggle of one of the best offensive lines against the frankly weak defense of the hosts. The coefficients of bookmakers for this match are confusing. Cagliari is currently frankly stronger than its rival is. I don’t know what about the clear victory because it is an away round, but you can safely try to bet on a zero handicap of the Sardinians. On the other hand, the team will probably score at least one goal. The only question is whether there will be more.
Prediction for the match: Cagliari to score over 1.0 goal
