Udinese - Cagliari 02.12.2012 14:00
Udinese did not manage to win a single game out of their last 5 league matches. Furthermore, the team have lost their last two Europa League games. After the poor results Udinese gradually droped
in the table and are now just five points from the 18th Siena. Coach Francesco Guidolin is facing one of the most difficult
times leading the team as once again he won`t be able to rely on 6th players, which are injured. These are Luis Muriel, Giampiero Pinzi, Andrea Lazzari, Maurizio Domizzi, Mehdi Benatia and
Dusan Basta.
Both teams have a total of 16 points in the league. The problems with injured players for the guest are also severe as there are three offensive players in their list of injured footballers. These are Nene,
Mauricio Pinilla and Andrea Cossu. Cagliari`s main goalscorer Marco Sau seems to be the only one dangerous attacking player that will take part in this match. However, knowing that Cagliari will mainly rely in attack on this
forward, the defenders of Udinese will be well prepared for him.
Cagliari don`t have a single win in 17 of their last 19 away matches in Serie A, which puts them in the list of least well performing visiting teams. Furthermore, Cagliari didn`t manage to score even one goal in the last three
matches against Udinese in all competitions. The statistics for Udinese against Cagliari gets even better as they are undefeated in their last 7 matches in all competitions. Therefore, the team of Cagliari seems to be a rather preferable
opponent for Francesco Guidolin`s team and they will undoubtedly do their best to get out of the sticky situation they are in and start winning again. However, the absence of a lot of offensive players for Cagliari might result in the team taking a
strong defensive formation with the will to reach the draw in this match.
