My Prediction
Udinese by 1Looking at the upcoming match between Como and Udinese, let's sift through the information on these teams.
For Como, the goalkeeping duo of Jean Butez and Pepe Reina have been decent, rating at 7.05 and 6.85 respectively. Their performances this season haven't exactly set the world on fire, but sometimes a steady hand is all you need.
On the other hand, Răzvan Sava between the sticks has been having a steady season for Udinese, rating 7.15 and pulling off 11 critical saves. It's his gym I wouldn't want to pick a fight in, for sure.
Now, let's talk about the big guns. For Como, most would have an eye on Patrick Cutrone and Assane Diao, with ratings of 7.28 and 7.25 respectively and both finding the net this season. As for Udinese, we turn our attention to Florian Thauvin and Lorenzo Lucca, who've been showing their worth and kicking up dust in the attacking third. Thauvin with an impressive 7.38 rating and Lucca boasting 2 goals to his name this season.
It's time to throw some history into the mix. The last time these two teams faced off, Udinese came out on top with a 1-0 victory. Unfortunately, we don't have a time machine to go back and change that result.
However, if we take a look at the regular season so far, Udinese seems to have a slightly better track record with 7 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses compared to Como's record which reads as 4 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses. Talk about a rough start to the season for the Como folks.
As for their recent form, both teams have had their ups and downs. Udinese has had some battles ending in draws and a rough result against Napoli, whereas Como has taken a few hits against the likes of Milan and Inter.
So, after going over all the stats and past performances like a dog sniffing around for a bone, and let me tell you this is not a task for the faint-hearted, if I were to put my chips down, I'd go with:
