Como vs Udinese Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Cesc Fàbregas’s team are trying to stay in the top flight.

Como 1907 will return to their base to host Udinese in their 21st Serie A fixture of the season. The Voltaics have not enjoyed a memorable campaign so far and are nearing the relegation zone. They will not want to immediately return to Serie B having secured promotion after last season.

For sure they will need to pull up their socks before it’s too late. They’re struggling with consistency and are placed 16th in the standings with 19 points.

Udinese on the other hand have failed to do anything significant this season. It’s been a tale of draws and dropping points from winning positions for the Bianconeri. They currently hold the tenth position on the table with 26 points from seven wins and five draws.

The Friulians come into this game on the back of three back-to-back draws with their last win dating back to almost a month ago.

Players to watch 

Patrick Cutrone (Como)

The Italian striker has been one of the top-performing players for his team this season. Cutrone was the driving force behind Como’s promotion to the Serie A and he has continued to build upon his heroics in the Italian top flight. Known for his physical prowess, aggressive style of play and high pressing, the 27-year-old has found the back of the net seven times across all competitions, including two goals in the last three games.

Lorenzo Lucca (Udinese)

Lorenzo Lucca will be the player to watch out for Udinese coming into this game. The striker has netted two goals in the last three games and has an overall tally of nine goals across all competitions. Standing at 6‘7, Lucca possesses a gigantic presence in the box and is a guaranteed winner when it comes to aerial duels. His dribbling, finishing and physicality make him a complete forward.
