Como vs Udinese Prediction
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Como and Udinese in Serie A's 18th round at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia? The "Little Zebras" have been stumbling lately, showing a lack of consistency in their performances. Meanwhile, the "Larians" are holding their ground confidently near the top of the table and are determined not to drop points at home. However, underestimating their opponent could lead to significant challenges, even for a team in good form. Thus, the upcoming encounter promises to be far more intense than it might initially appear.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Como and Udinese includes just two matches over the last 20 years, both of which took place last season. The record is perfectly balanced: each team secured a victory on home turf. Udinese narrowly won 1-0 at their home ground, while Como claimed an emphatic revenge with a 4-1 triumph in their own stadium.

Como 1907 Team Overview
🔵 December was not the best month for Como, with two defeats and just one victory. The team struggled against Inter (0-4) and Roma (0-1), which immediately impacted their league standing. However, the "Larians" ended the month on a high note, thrashing Lecce away with a 3-0 scoreline. In that match, Como outperformed their opponents in every aspect, scoring goals of all kinds, leaving no room for any potential drama.
⚪ After the 17th round, Como sit in sixth place in the standings with 27 points. They are six points adrift of the top four, but they have a game in hand compared to Roma, who are in fourth place. So, the situation isn't looking too dire just yet.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to find the right words to describe Udinese's performances. In December, the team played five matches, securing just one win while suffering three defeats. The "Little Zebras" even managed to lose to Fiorentina (1-5), who had been the only Serie A club without a win up to that point. Despite this, Udinese currently hold the 11th spot in the league table with 22 points. However, the teams below are closing in, and if this form continues, they risk slipping significantly down the standings.
⚫ In the previous round, Udinese narrowly avoided a home defeat against Lazio (1-1). Offensively, the team showed little: yes, they registered 15 shots with four on target, but when it came to genuine scoring opportunities - there were none. The "Little Zebras" only managed to score in the 90+5th minute thanks to Keinan Davis's individual effort.

Latest news
Como 1907
📣 Following a commanding 3-0 victory in Lecce, Como's head coach Cesc Fabregas admitted he experienced the match with heightened emotions: "I enjoyed it because we won. When you're a coach and can't do anything from the sidelines, it's tough, but the team managed the game very well." Fabregas also emphasized that for him, the process is more important than the league standings at this point: "I'm not talking about our position on the table-right now, that's not the main focus. We're prioritizing the development of the team and our young players. Tasos [Douvikas] needs to work like a beast-that's the only way to improve."
🚫 Como face some squad challenges ahead of their next match. Diego Carlos will definitely miss out due to suspension from accumulating yellow cards. There are also several uncertainties around player availability: Edoardo Goldaniga, Alvaro Morata, and Assan Diao are all doubtful as they are dealing with muscle or related injuries and will be assessed closer to the game. Additionally, Jayden Addai remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from a thigh injury.
Udinese Calcio
📣 After a home draw against Lazio (1-1), Udinese's head coach Kosta Runjaic expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance: "I'm pleased with how we played; securing a point against a team like Lazio is no easy feat." Runjaic specifically highlighted the players' commitment: "The guys continue to give me more and more. We focus on every detail, play with great desire and energy, and it's crucial that our forwards are the first to engage in defense." A key factor in the result was the goalkeeper: "Padelli kept us in the game; he was ready because he always trains at the highest level. We didn't deserve to lose, and the late goal was a huge relief."
🚫 Udinese are also dealing with squad issues. Iker Bravo and Saba Goglichidze are definitely out due to muscle injuries. Arthur Atta remains doubtful, while Jordan Zemura is still recovering from a leg injury. Meanwhile, Rui Modesto and Vakoun Issouf Bayo are absent for valid reasons, as both are with their national teams.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
This season, Udinese have been notably weak defensively, conceding 28 goals in 17 matches, the worst record in the league so far. Their away form is particularly concerning, with 15 goals conceded on the road. In 4 of their last 5 away games, the "Little Zebras" have allowed opponents to score at least twice, including a crushing 1-5 defeat to Fiorentina. Therefore, a bet on Como to score over 1.5 goals seems reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Despite their dominant style of play, Como do not frequently approach the corner flag, averaging 4.0 corners per match (12th in the league). The "Larians" rarely surpass seven corners; Como have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in 23 of their last 24 matches. This will be our bet.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Como are the clear favorites for the upcoming clash, and it's hard to argue with that-there's a significant gap between the teams at the moment. Udinese have been far from impressive lately: even their home advantage has waned, and they've lost four of their last five away matches. Cesc Fabregas' side, on the other hand, enter this game in high spirits following a convincing 3-0 victory over Lecce, which should boost the "Larians'" confidence even further. Therefore, we're backing a Como win and expect to see a scoreline of 2-0 on the board.
