Serie A – Udinese to face Salernitana on Match-day 19

Wednesday at the Stadio Friuli, as Udinese host Salernitana in the Serie A.

Udinese, currently sitting twelfth, host twentieth placed Salernitana on Wednesday.

Udinese’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 39 points this season

With Udinese having secured all three points on their two previous outings, Gabriele Cioffi’s men will doubtless be looking to retain their run after this fixture.

Also, that’s a run of three wins for Udinese. Now they have 9 matches won, 10 games lost and 12 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in twelfth place, with a total of 39 points having won nine games, drawn 12 matches, and lost 10 fixtures.

Udinese have won six games, drawn seven meetings, and lost three meetings of their 16 League matches at home this season.

A win in this fixture would take Udinese’s points to 42 in the League.

Good Attacking Performance

Udinese will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (47). This season, their stand-out attacking players have been Marco Silvestri, Nehuen Perez, and Marvin Zeegelaar. Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Udinese so far, having conceded 49 goals in their last games so far.

Injury and illness have depleted Gabriele Cioffi’s Udinese and they will likely be missing four key personnel for Wednesday’s match.

Davide Nicola’s Salernitana, away to Udinese on Wednesday, hoping to improve relegation prospects

Salernitana will be buoyant, following a 1-2 away win against Sampdoria in their last fixture.

Also, Davide Nicola may ponder the reasons why his Salernitana team are struggling at the bottom of the table this season. But 12 defeats out of the last 20 games, should be all the analysis that he really needs. With 19 points (4W, 20L and 7D), they are established in twentieth position in the League having won four fixtures, drawn seven matches, and lost 20 games.

Salernitana have had a disappointing run of performances on the road, having won three meetings, drawn two fixtures, and lost 11 games of their 16 League matches playing away this season.

A victory for Salernitana would put them on 22 points.

Salernitana’s squad has depth, but even so, Davide Nicola is likely to be missing seven of they key players when they start Wednesday’s game.
