Udinese-Cagliari is a match of the ninth day of Serie A and is played on Friday at 6:30pm: odds, prediction, live TV and streaming.
In recent days the gap between Udinese and Cagliari, two teams aiming for a quiet salvation, has narrowed significantly. Merit above all to the two victories obtained by the Sardinians in the last three rounds of the championship: first the 3-2 with which they settled Parma and then, twenty days later, the one that sanctioned the success with Torino. In between was the heroic draw at the Stadium with Juventus (1-1), with which Davide Nicola’s men finally put their disastrous start (only 2 points in the first 5 days) behind them.
Udinese, on the other hand, had gotten off to a great start, going beyond all expectations – 10 points in the first four – but slowed down as soon as the first clashes with the bigs came, falling back into the ranks a bit. Last Saturday, the Friulians cashed in their third defeat of the season, surrendering 1-0 to AC Milan despite being outnumbered by the Rossoneri, who were left with 10 in the first half due to Reijnders’ expulsion. However, Kosta Runjaic’s team did not demerit at all, repeatedly coming close to scoring the equalizing goal. This will inevitably be a good test for both of them, which in light of their position in the standings – Udinese is eighth on 13 points, Cagliari on the other hand is 15th on 9 – they will be able to face without much pressure on their shoulders.
Udinese-Cagliari: latest lineup news
Runjaic in all likelihood will again have to do without the injured Thauvin, struggling with a rib problem. In Lucca’s support, therefore, we will see Iker Bravo again, currently favored over Ekkelenkamp. The other ballot is in midfield, where Zarraga contends for a starting jersey with Payero.
There will be no changes instead in Cagliari’s lineup, with Nicola seeming intent on fielding the same eleven from the match with Torino. The only unavailable players are Obert, Pavoletti and Jankto.

The Prediction
Two teams that seem to be out of trouble at the moment and can make for a balanced contest. Slight preference for Udinese, which so far at home has surrendered only to Italian champions Inter: the Friulians will most likely manage to avoid defeat. Both should score.
