Enjoying their best form of the season, Cagliari will make the long trip north to meet Udinese on Friday evening, seeking a third win from four games in Serie A.

The Sardinian side have suddenly narrowed the points gap to their hosts, who missed an opportunity to sneak inside the top four by losing to 10-man AC Milan.

We say: Udinese 1-0 Cagliari

Neither side are particularly prolific, so the game could be decided by a single goal - and Udinese are marginal favourites to score it.

The hosts have made a fine start to their 2024-25 campaign, while Cagliari are often less effective when away from Sardinian soil.

Now separated by just two points in the Serie A standings, former leaders Torino will tackle promoted Como on Friday evening.

While Toro have slipped from the summit due to consecutive 3-2 losses, their visitors have been inching up the table after enduring a rocky start.

We say: Torino 1-1 Como

Torino can stop the rot after a run of four straight defeats across all competitions, but an improving Como side may still come away from Turin with one point.

Not only have the visitors steadied the ship in recent weeks, but their attack is also increasingly potent.
