**Udinese Aim to Break Home Drought Against Cagliari**
Udine, Italy – Udinese will look to end a frustrating seven-month wait for a Serie A victory at the Stadio Friuli this Sunday as they host Cagliari. While the “Little Zebras” have tasted success in the Coppa Italia on their home turf, their last league win in Udine dates back to March against Parma.
Manager Kosta Runjaic is hoping his team can translate their recent away form, which has seen them secure two wins in three matches, into success at home. They currently sit in 11th place in the league table and aim to climb the standings.
Historically, Udinese have a strong record against Cagliari at home, remaining unbeaten in their last three meetings, winning twice and drawing once. They’ve also outscored the Sardinians 8-2 in those games.
However, Cagliari will arrive in Udine buoyed by a recent 2-1 away victory against Lecce, ending a three-match losing streak on the road. Striker Andrea Belotti was the hero of the day, scoring twice. Despite this win, Cagliari’s overall away form remains a concern, with only three away wins in 2023.
Cagliari will also be seeking to improve their historical record at the Friuli, where their last league win dates back to April 2021.
Both Udinese and Cagliari currently have seven points after five league rounds, making this Sunday’s encounter a crucial one as both teams aim to solidify their position in the early Serie A standings.
