Udinese vs Como – Best bets of the match
Udinese vs Como Preview
Udinese open their Serie A campaign at the Dacia Arena sitting in a curious position. Kosta Runjaic's side finished tenth last term and will want a sharper start this time around. Four consecutive wins in pre-season suggest momentum, though a defeat in their most recent friendly tempers expectations. Maduka Okoye is fit again after a shoulder problem, while new arrivals Mergim Vojvoda and Unai Gomez bolster the squad. Losing Thomas Kristensen to Atalanta, however, leaves a gap in midfield.
Como arrive in Udine as one of the division's form sides. Cesc Fàbregas guided them to a fourth-place finish last season, conceding just 22 goals in 30 matches, and their pre-season has been equally impressive: four wins and a draw from five outings. Third in the early-season rankings, they carry genuine Champions League ambition into the new campaign. Vojvoda's departure to the hosts removes a useful defender, yet the Lariani's collective quality remains formidable.
Como's credentials speak for themselves. Fourth place last season, four wins from their last five outings, and just 22 goals conceded across 30 matches paint the picture of a side built on defensive solidity and consistency. Udinese, by contrast, finished tenth and lost their most recent fixture. The away win at 1.83 represents genuine value given Como's superior pedigree.
Udinese have bolstered their ranks with Mergim Vojvoda and Unai Gomez, yet losing Thomas Kristensen to Atalanta weakens their midfield spine. Maduka Okoye's return from a shoulder injury is a positive, though match sharpness could be an issue on the opening day. Como's settled squad and minimal disruption during the window give them a clear edge in cohesion.
The recommendation is a Como away victory at 1.83, supported by their outstanding recent form and last season's top-four finish. Both teams to score at 2.00 also merits consideration; Udinese scored freely at home last term, and Como possess enough attacking quality to find the net themselves. Under 2.5 goals at 1.67 could appeal given Como's miserly defensive record.
