The Zebra side will now face Sampdoria, the last team in the league, in the championship game last weekend. Will the Zebras be confident of picking up three points?
Udinese
In the match against Napoli, Udinese were content with a draw to clinch the league title officially. Naturally, the game ended in a draw. The Magpies opened the scoring on 13 minutes thanks to Sandi Lovric before Victor Osimen, the top scorer of the current season, restored the balance early in the second half. With the score of 1:1, both teams almost stopped attacking and scored no more goals before the final whistle. A draw against the champions was satisfactory for Udinese. A defeat, though, would not have made any difference for Andrea Sottile's side, who are just finishing off this season.
Sampdoria
The Genoese have finally lost faith that the team can stay in Serie A for next season. In their two previous matches, Sampdoria conceded seven goals without scoring anything. First, Sampa lost to Fiorentina (0:5), then Sampa lost 0:2 at home to Torino without scoring a single goal. The team is last in the table and now they are four points behind the last but one place in the table.

Expert Betting Tips
For Sampdoria, the situation in the standings is almost hopeless. That is why, lately, the Genoa side seems to have given up the fight and wholly lost confidence. So, although Udinese, to put it mildly, are not known for their consistency in the second half of the season, they are likely to pick up three points here. Udinese is better at home than away and has already beaten Milan, AS Roma, and Inter at home this season.
