Our predictions for Cremonese vs Udinese
Match Prediction: Cremonese 1-2 Udinese.
Cremonese's recent form suggests a team struggling to convert draws into wins, with only one victory in their last five matches. Their resilience was evident in their draw against Hellas Verona and a narrow win over Sassuolo, indicating a potential for a strong defensive display. However, their offensive struggles, particularly in away games, could be a concern against Udinese's fluctuating form.
Udinese have shown capability in both attack and defence, with notable wins against Pisa and Inter. Their recent losses to Sassuolo and Milan highlight vulnerabilities that Cremonese might exploit. The match could hinge on Udinese's ability to capitalise on their home advantage and Cremonese's capacity to maintain a solid defensive structure.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Cremonese
