Frosinone vs Udinese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-05-25 18:45.
Victory at Monza last time out extended Frosinone’s run to just one defeat in eight games (W2, D5), and it’s that run which has put them firmly in control of their own destiny heading into this massive final game for both participants. The Canaries know that anything but defeat here would see them preserve their Serie A status for the first time in their history but if they are beaten, relegation would only occur if Empoli were to also beat Roma.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s side should be confident of getting the job done having kept five clean sheets in those last eight games, with no team in Serie A achieving a shutout more often over the same period. Picking up seven of their eight league wins at Stadio Benito Stirpe has proved a salvation upon their Serie A return and if they’re able to pick up another three points on Sunday, it’ll be the first time since April 2019 they’ve recorded successive Serie A victories.
Standing in their way are Udinese, the side a point and a place below them, who also know that anything but a win on Sunday leaves the door open for Empoli to leapfrog them. Le Zebrette have a significantly better goal difference, but if Empoli win, then Udinese must also pick up three points and in turn consign Frosinone to the drop.
Fabio Cannavaro’s side might have hit form at the right time as they are unbeaten in four games (W1, D3), but the wider picture is just one win in the last nine (D4, L4), and that record is the story of the season, with Udinese rarely able to turn one point into three. No team in the division have drawn more than their 19 fixtures this season, with only already-relegated Salernitana having won fewer than their five league games.
Key battle: Averaging over two shots per game and with 14 goal involvements (G11, A3) to his name, Frosinone’s MatĂas SoulĂ© has created the most chances of anyone in Serie A this season (79). Up against him, Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye concedes a goal for every 3.5 shots he faces on average, though still averages three saves per game!
Hot stat: Udinese are unbeaten in four of the five Serie A H2Hs between these two (W2, D2), last losing a top-flight meeting in March 2016.
