Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a tight, low-scoring afternoon in Udine, with the visitors holding the edge in quality.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Como to win | 4/5 | Como were one of Serie A’s surprise packages last season, finishing fourth while conceding just 29 goals. Cesc Fàbregas’ side have strengthened again this summer, including the addition of Trevoh Chalobah, and should continue to improve with Nico Paz retained. Udinese, meanwhile, finished 12th and lost the last meeting 1-0, with Como also unbeaten in the last two clashes. With Como carrying greater defensive quality and momentum into the new campaign, back them to start with an away win. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 4/6 | Como’s defensive approach should keep this contest under control, with the visitors conceding just 29 goals across Serie A last season. The last four meetings with Udinese have also produced three matches with two goals or fewer, including a goalless draw in April. With both sides likely to prioritise structure over risk, back Under 2.5 Goals. |

How Udinese go into the game
Udinese finished 10th in Serie A last season on 50 points, a solid if unspectacular campaign that never really threatened the European places. The Dacia Arena remains a tough venue, but they scored only 45 goals across the season and can be blunt in the final third.
A settled, well-drilled outfit, Udinese will look to frustrate a fancied visitor and hit on the counter. Against opponents happy to see plenty of the ball, that approach could suit them.
How Como go into the game
Como were the surprise package of last season, finishing fourth on 71 points and conceding a miserly 29 goals. Cesc Fabregas has built a side that controls games and defends superbly, and they carry genuine European ambitions into the new campaign.
Their away form was a big part of that finish, and they have enjoyed recent trips to Udine. A repeat of last season’s discipline should make them hard to break down and a threat on the break.
