Udinese vs Pisa: Match Prediction
At home, the team coached by Kosta Runjaić try to play as actively as possible and spend a lot of time in advanced positions. Udinese do not have major issues with goalscoring and are fairly consistent: across their last 11 home Serie A matches the side only twice finished a game without scoring. On the other hand, in the same number of fixtures during this stretch the club failed to keep a clean sheet twice.
Pisa are very effective in creating chances on the road: in nine away matches in the current campaign the squad failed to score on only two occasions, and in five meetings during that run the team netted two goals. Notably, the club scored twice against Milan and Naples, who are among the table leaders. On the other hand, Pisa have not kept a clean sheet away in the current Serie A season.
Prediction: Both teams to score
