Cremonese vs. Udinese: Match Prediction
At home, Cremonese strives to frequently challenge opponents' defenses and create scoring opportunities. In their last eight home Serie A matches, the club's players failed to score only against Parma, and in three of those games, the team netted at least two goals. On the other hand, Cremonese has failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 14 home league matches.
Udinese adopts a similar approach and even on the road, they regularly find the back of the net: in their last 12 away Serie A matches, Kosta Runjaić's side left the field without scoring only three times. However, their defensive play leaves much to be desired: the club has conceded in 8 of their last 9 away league encounters, and in four matches, they have allowed at least two goals.
I expect both teams to perform effectively in attack in this match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
