Comments and predictions for Cagliari vs Udinese: The home team's decisive blow

Latest Cagliari vs Udinese team information

Cagliari have no suspended players, however Gabriele Zappa is at risk of missing the match if he receives another yellow card.

Center-back Yerry Mina continues to be absent due to a thigh injury and is not expected to return until the end of May.

Roberto Piccoli is the hope in attack with 9 goals this season, including 3 decisive goals. He will be the main striker in this weekend's match.

Udinese are hit with a big loss in terms of squad numbers as Martin Payero and Kingsley Ehizibue are suspended. In addition, Florian Thauvin (ankle), Jordan Zemura (calf), Jurgen Ekkelenkamp (thigh), Lorenzo Lucca (calf) and Isaak Touré (knee) are all absent due to injury.

With Lucca (10 goals) and Thauvin (8 goals) both unable to play, Udinese lost two strikers who contributed to 50% of their total goals in Serie A this season (18/36 goals). This is a huge loss that directly affects their ability to score goals and hopes of getting points at Cagliari.

Latest Cagliari vs Udinese football review

Cagliari ended a three-match winless streak in Serie A with a 2-0 win at Hellas Verona, securing their third away win of the season and first since beating Monza 2-1 on January 5.

After ending their away points drought, coach Davide Nicola's team aims to win two consecutive Serie A matches for the first time this season, something they last did in March 2024 against Empoli (1-0) and Salernitana (4-2).

Cagliari's home form has been inconsistent recently, winning just one of their last three games at the Sardegna Arena and two of their last five.

Although Udinese are on a long winless streak, Cagliari fans certainly won't forget their team's poor home record against this opponent, with 3 defeats and 2 draws in their last 5 home matches in Serie A.

That is the reason for the away team's fans to be more confident, even though Udinese entered round 35 without winning a match in the tournament since the beginning of March.

However, that hope is also quite fragile when looking at Udinese's recent poor away record, with defeats against Inter Milan (1-2), Genoa (0-1) and Torino (0-2).

They have also failed to score in their last two away games – a sign of a significant decline in form and spirit.

Previously, in the period from September to November, the Friuli team lost 4 consecutive away matches against Roma (0-3), AC Milan (0-1), Venezia (2-3) and Atalanta (1-2), which made many people worry that the scenario would repeat itself this weekend.

Scoring is also a clear weakness of Udinese as they have failed to score in 5/6 recent matches in Serie A - a worrying statistic for this trip to Sardegna.
