Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese and Torino square off against each other at Dacia Arena in what is expected to be a close Serie A game. The Zebrette played out a goalless draw with Genoa before the international break, with the team extending their winless run to three games. Udinese are determined to give fans something to cheer about, but Sunday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team.
Winger Deulofeu misses out through suspension, while important midfielder Pereyra is sidelined with injury. Il Toro, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Fiorentina (4-0) and Sampdoria (2-1), while sharing the spoils with Sassuolo. Considering that Ivan Juric’s men often struggle on the travels, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Aina is back from international duty, while Bremer is banned for the match.
