Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on December 29. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.
Udinese
The Zebras clearly guessed with the head coach. Under the leadership of progressive German specialist Kosta Runjaic, Udinese are trying to play the kind of football that the Bundesliga giants like Stuttgart or Bayer are currently playing. Udine presses high, actively attacks, and it brings results. Ninth place in the standings - not a bad intermediate result for 17 rounds. Udinese are currently eight points behind the European Cup zone.
In the previous round Udinese beat one of the leaders of the current season Fiorentina on the road. The Stripes allowed the opponent to open the scoring already in the 9th minute, but fired a double at the start of the second half and kept the advantage. 2:1 - Lorenzo Lucca and Florian Thauvin scored for Udinese.
Torino
The progress of the championship shows how important Duvan Zapata was for Paolo Vanoli's system. After the forward suffered a serious injury at the beginning of the season, Torino's results immediately went down, and the Garnet turned from a contender for at least the top ten of the standings to one of the outsiders. By the end of the first round, Torino had improved somewhat and are now in 12th place in Serie A, but only five points ahead of the relegation zone.
In the last round Torino hosted Champions League participant Bologna and failed to offer their opponents any worthy resistance. The Red-Blue failed to realize a penalty in the opening game, but in the second half they scored twice. 0:2 - Torino suffered their sixth defeat in the last ten league matches.
Expert Betting Tips
Udinese is more stable in the distance of the season than Torino, which has too many problems, especially in attack. They often leave the field without a goal, and for 17 rounds have scored only 17 goals - at the level of Serie A outsiders. We believe that Torino will not manage to score more than once in the upcoming game. Although the Bulls will probably concede a little - the team often performs well in defense.
