Cremonese vs Udinese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-19 18:45.
[p]Cremonese suffered their first Serie A defeat ahead of the international break and will be looking to get back to winning ways against Udinese.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Cremonese had a harsh reality check before the international break when they went down 4-1 to title-chasing Inter Milan, but it’s otherwise been a great start to the campaign. They’ve accumulated nine points after six rounds (W2, D3, L1), which is a whopping seven more than they had at this stage of their last season in Serie A in 2022/23, while it took them 23 rounds to accumulate nine points back then! Such a healthy return at this stage stands Davide Nicola’s men in good stead to avoid a relegation battle this time around, and given they’re unbeaten in nine consecutive home league outings (W4, D5), their survival hopes could take another boost here.[/p]
[p]Udinese earned an impressive seven points across their opening three Serie A matches, which included back-to-back away victories against Inter and Pisa, but Kosta Runjaić’s men have picked up only one point since (D1, L2). A lack of goals offers some explanation for their slump, as they netted just twice across those three matches, but three victories across their last five away league outings (L2) – more than in the previous nine combined – should give travelling fans some hope. Losing two of their three Serie A away matches against newly-promoted sides last season (W1) offers a huge note of caution though. [/p]
