Pre-match statistics
Form over the last five matches: Udinese — Cagliari
1 wins, 1 draws, 3 losses in the last 5 matches
Udinese’s home form in their last five matches has been inconsistent: the team have recorded one win, one draw and three defeats. At home, they have scored 4 goals and conceded 5, averaging 0,8 and 1 goal per game respectively; their most recent home meeting with Lazio ended in a 1:2 defeat.
In the overall sample of Udinese’s last five matches, the team also have one win, one draw and three defeats, but have scored 8 goals — an average of 1,6 per match — and conceded 11, or 2,2 per game.

Prediction
Prediction: Corners — Udinese — Cagliari
In Udinese’s five-match sample at home, the team have averaged 4,6 corners, allowed opponents 6,0 and produced a total average of 10,6; the 8,5 line was exceeded in four of the five matches. In Cagliari’s five away games, the averages are 4 corners for the team, 4,4 for their opponents and 8,4 overall, with the required line reached in three of the five matches; there is no consistent run of games with either a regularly high or low total. The model has selected over 8,5 corners with a rating of 5 out of 5, also taking into account the five head-to-head meetings, in which the line was cleared on three occasions; this is a statistical prediction, not a guarantee of the result.
