Cagliari vs Udinese: The opponents to go for a draw

Saturday matches of the Serie A round 18 will end with an encounter between Cagliari and Udinese. Will Walter Mazzarri’ team manage to earn 3 points and leave the relegation zone? Let’s choose several options to bet on. 

On Tuesday, Walter Mazzarri's team knocked Cittadella, the club from the lower leagues, out of the national cup, winning 3-1 at home. Maybe this success will energize the Islanders, who have been winless in Serie A for a long time.

Cagliari approaches the match against Udinese in 19th place, two points away from saving 17th place. On the previous matchday, the Sardinians failed to score against Inter on the road, losing 0-4. The Islanders have a winless streak of as many as 9 matches, 5 defeats and 4 draws.

Just like Cagliari, the Little Zebras played the match of the Coppa Italia 1/16 finals at home against the club from Serie B. There were no problems with the result, 4-0. Pussetto scored a double, De Maio and Success also got on the scoresheet.

Luca Gotti's team is not so confident in the league. However, seventeen rounds played, Udinese takes 15th place and has a good gap of 7 points up from the relegation zone. The last round saw Udinese come close to a home win over AC Milan only to concede a goal by Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the dying minutes, 0-1.

Udinese failed to outplay Cagliari last season: 1-1 away, 0-1 at home.

Cagliari is in the relegation zone and is unlikely to lose in the upcoming match. The Islanders will be very motivated and their dedication will help them gain at least one point. Udinese is not particularly desperate for tournament points, so they seem ready to make do with a draw if necessary.

Prediction: The match will end in a draw.

• Cagliari Not To Lose + Total Under (4.5) for 1.76;
• X for 3.25;
• Correct Score 0-0 for 11.0.
