The 2022-23 Serie A season rolls on this weekend and these Udinese vs. Salernitana predictions form part of another packed schedule. Both sides endured a difficult start to the campaign and will be aiming to bounce back.
Udinese vs. Salernitana odds
1 – A draw – 37/13
2 – Udinese under 2.5 total goals – 3/10
3 – Total goals scored under 2.5 – 27/25
4 – Both teams to score – 3/4
5 – A 1-1 draw at – 13/2
The 2022-23 campaign kicked off in miserable style for both sides on the opening weekend with defeats against defending Serie A champions Milan and Roma respectively.
Given the level of opposition, neither side will be too downbeat, but they will be pushing for an immediate response in this fixture.
With only a loss each to go on so far this season, it is difficult to pick a clear favourite, with a draw a strong option to allow both teams to gain some much-needed confidence.
Both sides won away from home against each other last season in their first Serie A meetings since 1998-99.
Salernitana have failed to register a goal so far this season, with blanks in league and Coppa Italia action, compared to Udinese’s haul of four goals in two outings.
The hosts look almost certain to at least get on the scoresheet on their league return to the Dacia Arena but based on Salernitana’s goal record, this is unlikely to be a high scoring contest.
Based on the data from 2021-22, Salernitana were the second lowest scorers overall in Serie A with Udinese finishing 8th in the goals scored table.
Despite the form book slightly tipping in Udinese’s direction, based on their cup win over Serie C side Feralpisalo, the gap is narrow between these two teams as it stands, and that should cancel them out on the day.
Udinese’s struggles to keep a clean sheet in 2022-23 will open the door for Salernitana to net their first goal of the campaign and a scored draw represents real value and the opening points of the season for both teams.
