Cagliari arrive in sharp form, having beaten both Lecce and Atalanta in their last two outings. The visitors have won half their last ten matches and hold a 67% away win rate over that stretch. Udinese's home fixtures have been particularly open, with both teams scoring in 83% of recent matches at the Friuli.

Both teams have scored in 55% of the H2H record, and Over 1.5 goals has landed in 79% of those encounters.

Best Bet
