The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with Sampdoria in an important encounter at the Stadio Friuli on Sunday.
Sampdoria are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have been in poor form so far this season. The away side suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of Torino last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The hosts held Napoli to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Match Details:
- Match: Udinese vs Sampdoria
- Date: 8 May 2023
- Time: 10:00 pm
- Venue: Friuli
Udinese vs Sampdoria Prediction
Udinese can pack a punch on their day but have been plagued by inconsistency over the course of their league campaign so far. The hosts have good players in their ranks and have a point to prove this weekend.
Sampdoria have struggled this season and cannot afford another run of poor results in the Serie A. Udinese are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Udinese 2-1 Sampdoria

Udinese vs Sampdoria Team News
Udinese will again be missing three players on Monday evening through injury, with Isaac Success, Enzo Ebosse and Gerard Deulofeu on the treatment table.
The hosts have no fresh concerns from their draw with Napoli last time out, though, so it would not be a surprise to see the same XI take to the field for this contest.
Ilija Nestorovski led the line against the champions with support from Roberto Pereyra and that is again expected to be the case in Monday’s fixture.
As for Sampdoria, Emil Audero, Andrea Conti and Ignacio Pussetto will miss the match due to fitness issues.
Meanwhile, the basement side will also be without the services of Bruno Amione, who was sent off in the final exchanges of the 2-0 home defeat to Torino last week.
