LiontipsUdinese vs Salernitana. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (August 20, 2022).
Command Analysis
Udinese finished in 11th place in the previous edition of Serie A. They conceded 58 goals in 38 games, which is one of the worst defensive records in the Italian elite, plus the team looked poor in the pre-season friendlies. However, Udinese kicked off the new season with a victory over FeralpiSalo (2:1) in the first round of Coppa Italia. Last weekend, the team put up a good fight against AC Milan and even scored twice, but lost anyway (2:4).
Salernitana barely escaped relegation to Serie B, having finished just one point above the relegation zone. The team had a bad start to the new season - they lost 0:2 to Parma in the first round of Coppa Italia, and four of their players got injured - Salernitana will be without Ribery, Kastanos, Pirola, and Bohinen. Last week, the Garnets suffered a narrow defeat to AS Roma (0:1).

Our prediction - Udinese to win
We do not expect a large number of goals scored in this game. The opponents usually play very carefully against each other, and Udinese will probably ty to be pragmatic and not take too many risks. Salernitana couldn't score in the previous two games and might not find the back of the net this weekend, either.
