Head-to-head statistics Torino - Udinese
Torino Team Overview
🔴 After a rough patch where Torino went winless for six matches, the team has significantly improved. In their last four fixtures, the Bulls have secured three victories, amassing 9 points, which has positively impacted their league standing. Following the 18th round, Torino sit in 11th place, extending their gap from the relegation zone to 11 points. Meanwhile, the top six now seems within reach, with only a 7-point deficit.
⚪ Last weekend's match against Verona (3-0) could arguably be called Torino's best performance under Marco Baroni. It wasn't just the emphatic win but also the quality of play: the Bulls outplayed their opponents in every aspect and didn't allow Verona to create a single dangerous chance (the Mastiffs had an xG of just 0.23).

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Udinese have struggled to find form recently, with just one win in their last six matches. Notably, the "Little Zebras" managed to defeat Napoli 1-0, a team currently bulldozing through opponents. However, this victory does little to change the overall picture, as the team continues to slip down the standings: Udinese have already fallen out of the top half, despite the top six recently seeming within reach.
⚫ On January 3, the "Little Zebras" suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Como. Udinese delivered a lackluster performance, managing only four shots in 90 minutes while allowing their opponents to create numerous dangerous chances. In this context, a narrow loss might even be considered a relatively mild outcome.

Latest news
Torino
📣 After the clash with Verona (3-0), Baroni admitted he anticipated a much tougher match: "I was quite worried and immediately told the guys we were in for a challenging game. But the team completely dominated the first half and then smartly adapted to the 'dirty' football when Verona started playing vertically... Today, I consider this match an important step forward for the entire team."
🚫 Torino approach the match with significant squad issues. Adam Masina is away on international duty and won't be available. Additionally, several players are doubtful: Cyril Ngonge and Niels Nkunku have caught a virus, while Ivan Ilic and Marcus Holmgren Pedersen are dealing with physical discomfort-their readiness will be assessed closer to the game. Meanwhile, Perr Schuurs and Zanos Savva remain sidelined due to cruciate ligament injuries.
Udinese Calcio
📣 After the match against Como (0-1), Kosta Runjaic was self-critical: "We didn't like our first half at all-we lost possession far too often. We need to play like we did in the second half: there, we created chances and could have equalized." The head coach also commented on the overall situation: "This season is proving to be difficult. Our main goal is to secure safety as soon as possible, and then we can aim higher. We need to fight for every point."
🚫 Udinese also face challenges with their lineup. Vakoun Issouf Bayo is on international duty. Saba Goglichidze, Jordan Zemura, and Adam Buksa remain unavailable as they continue their recovery from injuries. Additionally, Arthur Atta's participation is doubtful-he's dealing with a thigh issue, and a final decision on his involvement will be made right before the match.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
In head-to-head clashes with Udinese, Torino almost always finds a way to score - the Turin side has netted in 10 of their last 11 Serie A meetings against Udinese. Furthermore, the "Bulls" notably ramp up their performance after the break: Torino scored in the second half in 9 of the last 10 encounters, and there are no significant reasons to believe this trend will end, especially since the hosts are coming into this game in excellent form.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Udinese aren't known for pushing forward aggressively and earning a lot of corners. This is particularly true in away matches - on the road, Udinese have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in 6 of their last 7 games. Considering the visitors' cautious playing style, this betting option appears to be the most reliable.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, Torino are the favorites for the upcoming clash. If this match had taken place a month ago, there might have been reason to doubt this outlook, but the teams are currently in very different forms. The Bulls are gradually finding their rhythm, with three clean-sheet victories in their last four matches boosting confidence and optimism. Udinese, on the other hand, are struggling significantly, even against lower-tier opponents, not to mention their away games, where they have suffered five defeats in their last six outings. In this scenario, betting on a Torino win with a handicap (0) seems a logical choice. We expect a 2-0 scoreline on the board.No comments
