These Salernitana vs. Udinese predictions see two sides hoping for their first win of the new Serie A campaign. Just four points separated the teams at the end of last season, and they will undoubtedly view one another as direct competition this year.
Salernitana vs. Udinese odds
1 – A draw – 49/20
2 – Over 2.5 goals scored – 42/41
3 – Both teams to score – 5/4
4 – Antonio Candreva to score first – 9/1
5 – Salernitana to win – 2/1
Salernitana host Udinese on Monday evening, hoping to build on their away draw at Roma on match day one. The Granata have not invested heavily over the transfer window but have retained a talented core of players that they hope will be enough to keep them up this season.
Udinese‘s 3-0 defeat to Juventus in their first game, due in part to two individual errors, is unlikely to be cause for undue concern. But a failure to cause problems for the Bianconeri may suggest that last season’s offensive limitations have yet to be solved.
That being said, the Zebrette have been far busier than their weekend opponents over the summer break, and have invested primarily in attacking options. Brenner has joined in a €10 million deal and Lorenzo Lucca has arrived on loan from Pisa, while Gerard Deulofeu is nearing a comeback following nine months out injured.
With Andrea Sottil’s squad reinforced, and Paolo Sousa’s team full of confidence following the result at the Stadio Olimpico, fans may well be in for an exciting encounter on Monday evening. Our tip is over 2.5 goals to be scored. Recent encounters support a high scoring fixture, as the last two matches between the two sides at the Stadio Arechi have seen an average of 4.5 goals.
The most recent encounter saw the hosts take all three points despite falling two goals behind after just 30 minutes. Candreva inspired the Granata’s draw last weekend, with two fantastically taken goals, and the veteran is a good bet to score anytime on Monday evening, potentially inspiring Salernitana to another win.
Even so, Sousa’s side looked defensively vulnerable against Roma and benefitted from a narrow offside decision and a contentious penalty call. As a result, Udinese will be keen to secure their first goals of the campaign and a wager on both teams to score may well pay off.

Salernitana team news
Paulo Sousa is not expected to make many changes to the starting line-up that won last weekend, although Boulaye Dia will be keen to return. Lorenzo Pirola could also be drafted into defence having had the option on his loan taken up over the summer.
Udinese team news
Andrea Sottil may look to ring the changes on Monday night in an attempt to reinvigorate the front line. Lorenzo Lucca could start up front alongside Isaac Success, while Brenner is expected to be included in the squad. Lazar Samardzic is also likely to start despite links with a transfer out of the club.
