Udinese vs Torino: Form Guide, Stats, and Predictions
The stage is set for a tense showdown on December 29 as Udinese host Torino in Serie A. Looking at the numbers, this isn’t your typical high-octane clash. Both sides have issues, and the latest stats give plenty of reasons to expect a cagey affair rather than a goal fest.
Torino might be ranked in the league's top half, but their firepower is practically running on fumes. Despite having played 17 league games, they have just 21 goals to their name—a lower tally than anyone else above mid-table. Yet somehow, Torino pull off results, especially when facing Udinese. They haven’t lost any of the last four head-to-head matches. It’s not dominance—just consistent avoidance of defeat.
Udinese, on the other hand, are stuck in a defensive nightmare. Over the past nine games, their backline has been breached every single time. Home advantage hasn’t helped either: they’ve lost their last three at home in a row. It’s a leaky ship, and their goalkeeper Razvan Sava is working overtime—47 saves so far, but he’s still conceding at an uncomfortable 63% rate.
The head-to-head history stretches back a long way—this will be the 80th official meeting between them. Torino slightly edge it with 30 wins to Udinese’s 26, and there have been 23 draws, showing just how tightly matched these clubs are over the decades.
Odds, Predictions, and What to Watch
For bettors and fans alike, the numbers tell an interesting story. The odds sit at +162 for Udinese and -196 for Torino. It’s almost like the bookmakers can’t call it either—but the tilt towards Torino hints at their recent resilience against Udinese. The over/under line for total goals is set at a modest 3, highlighting how little everyone expects from either attack.
For predictions, a 1-1 draw looks the safest bet. Four out of the last five meetings have ended with under 2.5 goals, and neither team can boast reliable finishing. In Udinese’s last seven games, both teams managed to find the back of the net in five of them. So, expecting both sides to score seems fair—especially since neither can keep a clean sheet.
Let’s break down the team stats quickly:
- Udinese: 6 wins, 2 draws, 8 losses. 19 goals scored, 25 conceded. That’s a -6 goal difference—less than ideal for a club with European ambitions a few years ago.
- Torino: 5 wins, 4 draws, 8 losses. Their recent form is ugly—just one win in their last eight games, though Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has tried to keep them in games from the back.
Keep an eye on the midfield battle—both sides rely on disrupting play rather than stringing together elegant attacks. For Torino, their main edge comes from grinding out draws and snuffing out opponents’ attacks. Udinese’s only hope might be catching Torino off-guard on the counter or set pieces.
So, if you’re looking for fireworks, this match probably isn’t it. But if you’re after drama, uncertainty, and maybe a bit of betting fun, Udinese vs Torino could end up being a nail-biter for all the right reasons.
