Command Analysis
Como
ItalyCurrent form
Como returned to Serie A in the summer after a long absence and worked hard on the transfer market, managing to seriously strengthen the squad, especially against the backdrop of Parma and Venezia, with whom he broke into the elite from Serie B. However, even so, Cesc Fabregas' team was considered one of the main candidates for relegation along with Venezia and Verona.
Quite expectedly, Como failed in the opening period and took a long time to get into shape, and it took a long time for the newcomers to fit into the squad. However, the Azzurri did not give the impression of hopeless outsiders, having played several very bright matches - victories over Atalanta (3:2) and Roma (2:0) demonstrated that it is quite possible for them to fight for survival.
In the winter, the management allocated more funds for transfers and a number of expensive acquisitions, as for a newcomer to Serie A, followed immediately. In the last round, Como lost 1:2 to Milan, but looked decent in the game, and Assane Diao scored his debut goal in the first match. For now, the Azzurri occupy 16th place in the table with 19 points and are one point ahead of the relegation zone.

Udinese
ItalyCurrent form
Udinese spent the last season desperately fighting for survival and almost got relegated from Serie A – in the summer the management worked hard to prevent such a development in the new season – they changed the coach, conducted a very solid transfer campaign for a mid-table Serie A team. Kosta Runjaic clearly had the task of finishing in the middle of the table and avoiding the fight for survival.
Udinese played the opening segment more than decently and immediately moved away from the relegation zone, even managing to visit the Eurocup zone. However, there were not enough zebras for the entire first round and they gradually lost their form, but at the same time did not slide into a deep crisis - Udinese has been alternating successful series with unsuccessful ones lately, coping with all the tasks set so far.
At the moment, the Zebras are in 10th place in the table with 26 points and eight points ahead of the relegation zone – such a handicap can already be called significant. At the same time, it will be very difficult to fight for the European Cups – seventh Fiorentina has six points more, and Roma and Milan are higher in the table. Having drawn a goalless draw with Atalanta in the last round, Udinese extended its unbeaten streak to four matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Davis, Ehizibue and Zarraga are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Udinese have not lost in their last four matches – one win and three draws
- Udinese have not scored in their last two matches
- Udinese have kept a clean sheet in just one of their 11 away games this season.

1.37Tip and bets
Como will certainly be determined today - in the summer and winter the management spent serious money on strengthening the squad and the goal is to gain a foothold in Serie A. In home matches the Azzurri traditionally play boldly and effectively, it is unlikely that Udinese have a real chance to play to zero today. However, the zebras clearly have their own plans for points and there are very high-level performers ahead, Como defense is far from flawless, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on the outcome
Como has looked more than decent lately, especially on their home field - even in the match lost to Milan, Cesc Fabregas charges looked clearly not weaker, but they lacked class. Today, without a doubt, the Azzurri will strive to take all three points and break away from the relegation zone - the task for the hosts is not the easiest, but solvable. Udinese does not have a huge advantage in class and is not particularly stable, in a tough fight, the hosts are quite capable of snatching three points, it makes sense to take a risk and give them preference.
Bet - Como win. This bet is offered for 2.17
Combined rate
It is very important for Como to get all three points today and move away from the relegation zone - the most important period of the championship is ahead and losing points in home matches will be extremely dangerous for the Azzurri. The hosts' motivation will probably be off the charts, in the last home matches Como looked very decent even against more prestigious opponents, the hosts are capable of taking three points. At the same time, the defense is far from ideal, a clean sweep is unlikely.
Bet - Como win and both teams to score. This bet is offered for 4.45
