Udinese 2026/27 Serie A Preview
Udinese have conceded 11 goals in five games and won once. Kosta Runjaic’s side were beaten 5-3 at Internazionale and 3-2 at Monza, and have lost three of their opening five to sit 13th. Eight scored is respectable enough; the defending is not.
Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Hassane Kamara have two goals each. The corners are shared around, with Mërgim Vojvoda and Lennon Miller on six apiece. Maduka Okoye has made 20 saves and has yet to keep a clean sheet.
Tenth and 50 points last season was Udinese’s usual mid-table return and the aim will be the same. The 3-4-2-1 gives them plenty going forward; conceding more than two a game will pull them towards the bottom half if it continues.

Udinese’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Jurgen Ekkelenkamp
- Free-Kicks: Jurgen Ekkelenkamp
- Corners: Lennon Miller, Mërgim Vojvoda
Lennon Miller has taken 6 of Udinese’s corners to Mërgim Vojvoda’s 6. Jurgen Ekkelenkamp has had one of the direct free-kicks. Udinese are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
