Udinese
- Udinese are 12th in Serie A after 18 games with 22 points, but they are inconsistent at home (W3, D3, L3 in nine).
- Runjaic likes to see his team on the ball, pressing high, and flowing in the wide areas, which makes them a very watchable team.
- Keinan Davis (5 goals in 17 games in Serie A) is Udinese’s focal point up front and can be the difference between the two sides, who are miles apart in terms of quality.
Pisa
- Pisa are 20th in Serie A with just 12 points from 18 games, they are winless in nine away games in Serie A (D6, L3).
- Alberto Gilardino’s pragmatic and structured approach has kept Pisa in the Serie A survival fight after he took over in July 2025, but the 2025-26 campaign has seen the club remain rooted to the foot of the standings.
- Pisa are coming into this game having drawn back-to-back games against Genoa (1-1) and Como (0-0), with the latter result being at home.
Head-to-Head
The hosts won 1-0 away at Pisa in the reverse Serie A fixture three months ago.
Key Players
- Keinan Davis (5 goals in 17 games in Serie A) is Udinese’s focal point up front and can be the difference between the two sides, who are miles apart in terms of quality.
- M’Bala Nzola (3 goals in 15 Serie A games) is their top scorer and they will struggle to hurt Udinese here.
Betting Insights
- The bookmakers have Udinese at around 2.01 for this game, which is too short for my liking and Pisa are 4.43.
- The Both Teams To Score market looks attractive at 1.74 as Pisa concede a lot of goals.
- Udinese have conceded 13 in their nine home games, but Pisa have shipped 18 in their 9 away.
Prediction
- I’m going to take the odds on offer for Udinese to edge it.
- In a similar matchup three months ago, Udinese won 1-0 in Pisa and home advantage could make all the difference here.
