Udinese vs Pisa Prediction 10 January 2026
📢 What can we expect from the clash between Udinese and Pisa in the 20th round of Serie A, set to take place at the Stadio Friuli? The "Little Zebras" find themselves in the middle of the standings, while the "Nerazzurri" are languishing at the bottom. Both teams are navigating a tough period, with victories few and far between, making this encounter particularly significant. Each side will be determined to secure all three points in this crucial matchup.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head encounters between Udinese and Pisa in the 21st century are limited to just one match. On September 14, the teams faced each other for the first time in this new era. The game was quite evenly matched in terms of play, but Udinese were slightly more convincing, capitalizing on their opportunity to secure a narrow 1-0 victory.
Head-to-head statistics Udinese - Pisa
Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚪ Recently, Udinese have faced a challenging period. Since the start of winter, they have played seven matches across all competitions, securing only two victories while suffering four defeats. Despite this less-than-ideal stretch, the "Little Zebras" find themselves in a comfortable tenth place halfway through the season, with 25 points to their name.
⚫ Their latest match was a refreshing exception to this trend. On January 7th, Udinese traveled to an in-form Torino and managed to surprise everyone with a 2-1 victory. Both goals resulted from defensive lapses by their opponents, but those are issues for Torino to address. Moreover, throughout the match, Udinese looked at least as good as the hosts, matching them in both pace and quality of play. Therefore, the final result can be considered well-deserved.

Pisa Team Overview
🔵 Pisa are on a troubling streak, having gone 8 matches without a victory. The team are in notably poor form, struggling even to secure draws. During this stretch, the "Nerazzurri" have managed to collect points in just three instances, suffering five defeats-all of which were clean sheets. Naturally, this series has impacted their league position significantly: the club find themselves at the bottom of the table with only 12 points after the first half of the season.
⚫ In their last outing, Pisa were unable to offer any resistance at home against Como (0-3). Until the 68th minute, the hosts managed to hold off their opponents' attacks, but then they simply ran out of steam and started conceding one goal after another. With just 27% possession, such a scenario was almost inevitable. Pisa urgently need to regroup; otherwise, climbing off the bottom of the table will become increasingly difficult as the season progresses.

Latest news
Udinese Calcio
📣 Following a 2-1 away victory in Turin, Udinese's head coach Costa Runjaic expressed his satisfaction and emphasized the significance of the result: "I'm really pleased with both the win and the way we played. We deserved this success-we controlled the match and were well-organized. This is our first win in 2026, and these are truly valuable three points. We're still working on consistency, but our goal is to finish in the upper part of the table."
🚫 Udinese approach the match with some squad limitations. Vakoun Issouf Bayo is on international duty and will not be available for the team. Additionally, Saba Goglichidze, Jordan Zemura, and Adam Buksa remain sidelined as they continue their recovery from injuries and are not expected back until mid-January.
Pisa
📣 After a tough 3-0 home defeat, Pisa's head coach Alberto Gilardino spoke candidly and directly, expressing his dissatisfaction with the match's conclusion and the attitude of certain players. "Nzola needs to decide what he wants from his football career: only those truly ready to fight will remain on this team... The scoreline is harsh. For 68 minutes, we were holding our own against a Champions League-level team, but after the 70th minute, we conceded too much. It's not about physicality-it's a lack of aggression and focus. We will draw the necessary conclusions."
🚫 Pisa also faces personnel issues. Ebenezer Akinsanmiro is on international duty. Raul Albiol remains sidelined with a muscle injury, and the participation of Mateus Luzaurdi, Calvin Stengs, and Juan Cuadrado is still uncertain-their fitness will be assessed closer to kickoff.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
As we've noted, Pisa have been struggling offensively recently, managing to score in only 2 of their last 7 matches. Their goals came against Cagliari (2-2) and Genoa (1-1), both of whom are hovering near the relegation zone. Facing Udinese away, the "Nerazzurri" will find it extremely challenging to create opportunities, making a bet on Pisa not to score the most logical option.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the upcoming match, Udinese are likely to control the game and spend more time on the attack. However, it's worth noting that the team rarely racks up a high number of corners: Udinese have taken fewer than 6.5 corners in seven consecutive matches, so there's little reason to expect this game to be an exception.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Udinese are the favorites in the upcoming clash. However, it's not all that straightforward. Yes, Pisa are far from their best form right now, but the "Little Zebras" also lack consistency-they can drop points in almost any match. There's no doubt that Pisa will stick to their usual game plan: playing defensively with a strong focus on their backline. This season, there haven't been many instances where games involving the "Nerazzurri" have seen more than two goals scored. That's why our main bet is on under 2.5 goals. We wouldn't be surprised if the match ends in a goalless draw, 0-0.
