Prediction for Pisa vs. Udinese
At home, Pisa aims to play aggressively and frequently challenge their opponents' defense. This style often leads to goals: in their last 14 home matches in Serie A and Serie B, the team failed to score only twice, and in nine instances, they scored at least twice. However, Pisa's defensive performance is not as strong: they conceded in 7 of their last 8 league matches.
Udinese does not boast high scoring in away games but consistently finds the net: in their last ten away Serie A encounters, Kosta Runjaic’s side failed to score only three times. Meanwhile, Udinese's defense is not always reliable: in their last 20 away league matches, they managed to keep a clean sheet only twice.
I expect both teams to perform effectively in attack, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
