Udinese
Como
Match time: 02:45, September 2, 2024
Udinese is back in form in the new season, with one win and one draw, ranking sixth in the league. Last season's relegation pressure, the end of the season actively attracted reinforcements, such as Sanchez, Pizarro, Bravo and other veterans to join, showing the club's determination to achieve better results. In the first two rounds of the new season, Udinese performed well, drawing Bologna on the road in the first round and defeating Lazio at home in the last round, restoring the normal level of defensive counterattacking ability. Udinese has always been keen on defensive counter-attack tactics, and last season's poor performance was mainly due to the lack of striker's ability to seize chances. In the first two matches of the new season, Udinese still played in 3421 formation, and the new recruits completed their tasks well after their debut, which is a good result of the reinforcements.
Como is less familiar to the fans, having played in the lower leagues for many seasons before, last appearing in Serie A in the 2002 season. After winning promotion last season, the club invested a lot of money in reinforcements to strengthen the team, but the new players had problems with each other.
The last time these two sides met was in the 2015 season of Coppa Italia, when Udinese beat Como 3-1. With Udinese's strong defense and counterattacking ability, Como will find it hard to find chances in positional battles, and Como doesn't have outstanding strikers in their squad, so it's hard to penetrate Udinese's defense. Udinese, on the other hand, may win easily with their stronger overall ability. Udinese will most likely grab three points in this match.
