Swansea vs Udinese Prediction 24 July 2026
🔊 On July 24, Swansea take on Udinese in a friendly on neutral ground. The Welsh side finished 11th in the Championship last season - well out of the promotion picture. Udinese ended up 10th in Serie A, safe from relegation and nowhere near Europe. Two mid-table clubs, then. Who comes out on top?
Head-to-Head
📊 Swansea and Udinese have never played each other before.
Head-to-head statistics Swansea - Udinese

Swansea City Team Overview
Swansea's pre-season has been quiet - just two matches so far. Both came against German clubs: a draw with Holstein Kiel (2:2) and a loss to Bochum (0:2). Those results suggest there are defensive problems to sort out.
In the transfer market, the hosts have kept things modest - sold Galbraith for €11.7m, brought in Welsh, Steven and Valta for a combined €3.4m. Either the coaching staff think the squad is balanced and well set, or the club simply doesn't have the budget for bigger signings.

Udinese Calcio Team Overview
The Italian side have played just one preseason match so far - a 2-2 draw against Istra 1961. Udinese didn't leave much of an impression last season in Serie A: steady, unspectacular, picking up points like a mid-table side should, and never really in danger of the drop.
The transfer window has been more interesting, though. In have come Guye, Chakvetadze, Unai Gomez, Vojvoda, Zaniolo and Zanoli - a significant squad overhaul for €22 million. On the other side, Arthur Atta was sold to Fiorentina for €25 million. Six players in for one out - on the face of it, a good deal. Whether it actually is, only time will tell.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Udinese are the favourites here, and for good reason - the squad has been significantly refreshed, with several problem positions addressed in the transfer window, even if one of their best players moved on. Swansea can't claim the same: the Welsh side haven't changed much and will work with what they have. In terms of squad quality, they do fall short of the Italians. So we're backing a 1-2 final score. The bet to consider is a Udinese win.
