Serie A is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Cagliari lock horns with Udinese in an important clash at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday.
Udinese vs Cagliari Preview
Cagliari are currently in 19th place in the Serie A standings and have largely struggled to make an impact this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 3-1 defeat at the hands of Lazio last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have failed to meet expectations over the past year. The hosts stunned Juventus with a 1-0 victory in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
