- Competition: Serie A

- Kick-off: 14:00 UK / 15:00 CEST
- Venue: Sardegna Arena
Cagliari will be looking to record back to back league wins for the first time this season when they play host to Udinese on Saturday afternoon.
Consistency has been the major problem for the hosts this season, perhaps best explained by the fact that they are yet to register two Serie A wins in a row. With games running out fast, Davide Nicola's side travelled to Verona last weekend hoping to end a three-game winless streak. The Reid Blues moved eight points clear of the bottom three after a 2:0 win, and will be hoping for more of the same this weekend.
Udinese meanwhile have won successive matches on two occasions this season. One of such runs was not so long ago, back in March when they beat Empoli, Lecce and Parma. However, the Bianconeri have been a shadow of themselves since then and are currently on a seven-game winless streak, losing all but one of their four away games in that time.
Cagliari vs Udinese Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Cagliari may be winless in five games at the Sardegna Arena, but they haven't really conceded many goals in that time. Rossoblu conceded under a goal in three of those games, and the same number of games ended with under 2.5 goals scored.
Udinese are also struggling to find the back of the net at the moment. The visitors have failed to score in all four of their last Serie A games, and having seen each of their two away games in that time end with under 2 goals, I'm backing Saturday's game to be a tight affair.

Cagliari team news
Given the result and scoreline against Hellas Verona last weekend, Davide Nicola is expected to resist the temptation to make any changes to his XI.
Having scored his second goal of the season in that game, Leonardo Pavoletti looks set to retain his place up front and could be joined by Zito Luvumbo, who has also scored two league goals this season.
Yerry Mina is out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, but the hosts have no suspensions.
