Udinese will look to strengthen their push for a top-half Serie A finish when they host relegation-threatened Cremonese. The hosts have found form at the right time, while the visitors remain under serious pressure with only two matches left to save their season.

Cremonese boosted their survival hopes with a vital win last weekend, but their away record remains a major concern. Udinese, meanwhile, have been defensively strong in recent weeks, making this Udinese vs Cremonese prediction lean towards Under 1.5 goals, BTTS No, and a 1-0 correct score.

For readers searching for reliable betting tips today, this fixture looks like a low-scoring Serie A contest where Udinese’s stronger form could make the difference.

Match News and Current Form

Udinese have been playing with freedom in recent weeks, and that has helped them climb into tenth place. Back-to-back 2-0 wins over Torino and Cagliari have lifted confidence, while Kosta Runjaić’s side have now lost just once in their last seven Serie A matches.

Their recent improvement has been built on defensive control. Each of Udinese’s last four victories came with a clean sheet, showing a clear shift towards better organisation and game management. A win here would give the Little Zebras their first three-game winning run since March 2025.

However, Udinese cannot afford to take this fixture lightly. They have won only three of their nine home league matches this season against teams starting the round below them in the table, drawing three and losing three.

Cremonese arrive after a crucial 3-0 victory over already-relegated Pisa, a result that ended a five-game winless run. That win kept them within touching distance of safety, but they remain inside the relegation zone and still need points urgently.

The bigger issue for Cremonese is their wider form. They have won only two of their last 22 matches, losing 15 of those games. Their away attacking record is also poor, with only seven goals scored in 13 away matches since the start of November, failing to score in nine of them.

Team News

Udinese will be without Kingsley Ehizibue due to suspension, while Branimir Mlačić is also a doubt because of injury. Those absences could force some changes, but the hosts still have enough defensive structure to manage this fixture.

Cremonese will assess Giuseppe Pezzella before kick-off. His availability could be important as the visitors look to stay compact and avoid conceding early.

Head-to-Head Record

Udinese are unbeaten in their last nine Serie A meetings with Cremonese, with their last defeat in this fixture coming back in May 1985. However, the record has not been completely one-sided, as Udinese have won only two of those Serie A meetings since then, with seven ending in draws.

That history suggests this matchup can be tight, and the current betting angle also points towards a narrow scoreline rather than a high-scoring game.

Hot Stats and Streaks

Udinese have kept clean sheets in each of their last four Serie A wins.

Only seven of Udinese’s 18 home league matches this season have produced over 2.5 goals.

Udinese have conceded a league-high eight home goals in the opening 15 minutes after half-time.

Cremonese have conceded first in a Serie A-high 12 away matches this season.

Cremonese have failed to score in a joint league-high ten away games this term.

Cremonese have scored only seven goals in their last 13 away matches since November.

Key Players to Watch

Keinan Davis is the key player to watch for Udinese. He has contributed to four goals in his last six appearances, scoring three and assisting one, including an assist in the win over Cagliari. His physical presence and direct attacking threat could be decisive in a tight match.

For Cremonese, Jamie Vardy remains the main danger. He opened the scoring against Pisa and three of his last four goals have arrived inside the opening 35 minutes. If Cremonese are to take anything from this match, they may need another early impact from him.

Udinese vs Cremonese Betting Tips Today

• Under 1.5 Goals
• Both Teams to Score: No
• Correct Score Prediction: Udinese 1-0 Cremonese

Betting Analysis

The strongest betting tips today angle is Under 1.5 goals. Udinese have become more controlled defensively, while Cremonese have struggled badly for away goals across the second half of the season.

BTTS No also looks like a strong selection. Cremonese have failed to score in ten away league matches this term, and Udinese have kept clean sheets in each of their last four victories.

The correct score prediction is Udinese 1-0 Cremonese. The hosts are in better form, but their home record against lower-ranked sides suggests this may not be a comfortable win. Cremonese will fight hard for survival, but their lack of away attacking output could prove costly.
