Torino Vs Udinese: Match Prediction
We expect a high-scoring game between two mid-table sides in the current Serie A campaign. The hosts try to play actively in attack and score regularly: in their last seven home league matches the club did not finish a game without scoring. On the other hand, in the six previous home encounters in the Serie A the home side kept a clean sheet only once, conceding 13 goals over that span.
Udinese seldom gets maximum results on the road, yet they rarely leave the pitch without scoring. In 7 of their last 9 away league matches the away side found the net, and in the game against Inter they even scored twice. At the same time the club's defensive actions leave much to be desired: over the previous seven away Serie A matches Udinese registered only one clean sheet and conceded 15 goals in total.
We expect an exchange of goals, and our prediction: Both teams to score.
Prediction: Both teams to score
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this tournament.
