Udinese vs. Catanzaro Analysis
Zebras Too Hot to Handle on Home Turf?
Udinese finished in 12th position in the 2022-23 Serie A. They had a decent campaign, winning 11 of 38 league matches. They scored 47 and conceded 48.
Udinese’s league season kicks off with a tough fixture against Juventus next week. The Zebras will want to head into that one with a cup win in the bag.
Udinese started last season like a house on fire. They won in the cup and picked up six wins from their opening eight Serie A fixtures. They would love a similar start to this campaign.
The league is always the priority, but Udinese would take a run in the Coppa Italia this term. They should start the competition with a comfortable victory against a lower-league opponent.

Can the Southern Eagles Cause an Upset?
Catanzaro currently plies their trade in the second tier of Italian soccer. The Red Yellows were promoted to Serie B after an outstanding Serie C season last time around.
Catanzaro finished at the summit of Serie C (Group C), picking up 30 wins from 38 games. They were the top dogs in the division, scoring 102 goals, conceding just 21, and suffering only two defeats.
Catanzaro opened their 2023-24 campaign with a Coppa Italia victory over Foggia last Saturday. A second-half Alessio Curcio strike was enough for a 1-0 win.
Catanzaro is certainly on the rise, and can Vincenzo Vivarini’s men upset the Serie A team this Friday? The best tips on the soccer matches this week, and the Udinese vs Catanzaro odds are coming up.

Udinese vs. Catanzaro Pick and Prediction
Udinese is the top-flight team, so the home side is rightly the strong favorite to win this Coppa Italia matchup. However, Catanzaro is not used to losing matches these days, and last term’s Serie C Group C champions could be tough to break down.
Having said that, Udinese’s qualities should shine through at Stadio Friuli. Back the home side to win and both soccer teams to score at top soccer odds of +225.
- Udinese is looking for a fast start on home soil. Have a wager on the host to score the opening goal at -350.
