Udinese vs Pisa prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2026-01-09 14:00.
[p]Entering this round in the top half of Serie A, Udinese will try to follow up their midweek victory against rock-bottom Pisa.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After winning just once in six competitive matches (D1, L4), Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić will hope his side’s 2-1 midweek victory over Torino can help them turn a corner moving forwards. In the immediacy, Wednesday’s victory moved them back into the top half of the table and affords them a shot at securing back-to-back competitive wins for the first time since September. A sole victory from their last four home league games (D1, L2) hardly makes for great reading as they seek to follow up their midweek win, while scoring no more than once in any of their last five such matches hints that a clean sheet may well be their best route to victory here.[/p]
[p]Pisa suffered another defeat without scoring when losing to Como 3-0 on Tuesday, as their winless run stretched to eight matches (D3, L5). Alberto Gilardino’s men remain rock-bottom owing to just one Serie A win this term (D9, L9), but sitting within touching distance of safety still, they’re certainly not dead and buried just yet. Despite being winless on the road this season (D6, L3), Pisa shouldn’t be written off here as they look to bridge the gap to safety having scored 12 of their 13 league goals this term in away games, a return which has helped them avoid defeat in five of their last six trips (D5, L1).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
