This weekend’s Serie A action could include some decisive results in the relegation battle and these Udinese vs. Cremonese predictions will have a key impact on the run-in. Hosts Udinese look safe in mid-table but visitors Cremonese are edging closer to a Serie B return.
Udinese vs. Cremonese odds
1 – A draw – 32/11
2 – Udinese under 2.5 total goals – 1/3
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 1/1
4 – Both teams to score – 11/13
5 – A 1-1 draw – 13/2
The battle to avoid Serie A relegation continues to be a key theme in the season run-in with the bottom three teams yet to be decided in 2022-23.
Ahead of this weekend’s action, Cremonese’s safety chances do not look great, with the visitors seven points from safety before travelling to Udinese. However, despite the negativity surrounding Davide Ballardini’s task, their recent form has shown signs of improving with back-to-back wins for the first time this season.
Victories against rock bottom Sampdoria and mid-table Empoli will have boosted Cremonese’s confidence in avoiding the drop and, with Udinese failing to win in their last three league outings, they could snatch a draw here.
Udinese look to have already done enough to avoid being dragged into a relegation scrap, with the home side on 39 points after 30 matches played.
Cremonese’s uptick in form has not triggered a burst of goals, however, with Ballardini’s side only scoring over 1.5 total goals in league action on two occasions since the start of 2023. Udinese have also dropped off in front of goal, with six scored in their last six league ties, as they aim to edge along towards the end of the campaign.
A low-key draw will not have a dramatic impact on Cremonese’s survival chances, but it could generate some positive momentum if they can close the gap on 18th place Verona.
Depending on results elsewhere this weekend, there could still be six teams in the relegation battle at the start of May and Cremonese can only hope they have not already fallen through the trap door alongside basement side Sampdoria.
