Udinese come into this one with the stronger recent results, having won four of their last five league matches and kept three clean sheets in that run. At the Dacia Arena, that kind of defensive control and efficiency in front of goal gives them a clear edge against a Cremonese side that have lost three of their last five in the league. With no xG data available, the form table and recent scorelines are the best guide, and they point towards Udinese being the more reliable side.
Cremonese have shown they can still put a result together, as seen in the 3-0 win over Pisa, but their away numbers in this sample are less convincing. They have also been held to a goalless draw by Torino and beaten heavily by Napoli, which suggests they can struggle when the game gets stretched. Match Prediction: Udinese 2-0 Cremonese
Form Guide & Team Overview
Udinese
Udinese arrive in good shape, with four wins from their last five league matches. Those results include back-to-back 2-0 wins over Cagliari and Torino, plus a 3-0 away win at AC Milan, which underlines how solid they have been at both ends of the pitch.
The only setback in that sequence was a 1-0 home loss to Parma, but even that sits alongside a 3-3 draw at Lazio, so the overall trend is still positive. Three clean sheets in five league games is a strong base for a home side going into Round 37.

Cremonese
Cremonese’s recent league form is more mixed, with just one win in their last five. That victory came in a 3-0 home success against Pisa, but it is balanced by defeats to Lazio, Napoli and Cagliari, plus a 0-0 draw with Torino.
Their away results in particular have been less convincing in this run, with a 4-0 loss at Napoli and a 1-0 defeat at Cagliari. That leaves them needing a sharper performance if they are to trouble a Udinese side that have been much more consistent.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Udinese (3-4-3)
Predicted lineup: Maduka Okoye (Goalkeeper), Branimir Mlacic (Defender), Oumar Solet (Defender), Thomas Kristensen (Defender), Hassane Kamara (Midfielder), Jakub Piotrowski (Midfielder), Jesper Karlström (Midfielder), TBC (Midfielder), Adam Buksa (Attacker), Arthur Atta (Attacker), Nicolò Zaniolo (Attacker)
Udinese’s predicted 3-4-3 should give them a solid base of three defenders while still allowing Hassane Kamara and the other wide midfielder to support attacks from deeper areas. With Adam Buksa, Arthur Atta and Nicolò Zaniolo ahead of them, the shape looks set up to press Cremonese and attack quickly in transition.
Cremonese (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Emil Audero (Goalkeeper), Filippo Terracciano (Defender), Giuseppe Pezzella (Defender), Matteo Bianchetti (Defender), Sebastiano Luperto (Defender), Alberto Grassi (Midfielder), Jari Vandeputte (Midfielder), Tommaso Barbieri (Midfielder), Youssef Maleh (Midfielder), Federico Bonazzoli (Attacker), Jamie Vardy (Attacker)
Cremonese’s predicted 4-4-2 gives them a straightforward structure, with two banks of four designed to stay compact and protect the central areas. Federico Bonazzoli and Jamie Vardy offer a direct outlet up front, so the system should help them look for quicker attacks rather than long spells of possession.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Udinese | Cremonese | Key Battle Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Udinese | Cremonese | Adam Buksa against Filippo Terracciano could be important because Udinese will want their main forward to pin back the Cremonese defence. |
| Udinese | Cremonese | Hassane Kamara against Alberto Grassi may shape the midfield battle, especially if Udinese can use that side to build attacks. |
| Udinese | Cremonese | Adam Buksa is key for Udinese because his presence gives them a central reference point in a side that has been scoring regularly. |
| Udinese | Cremonese | Federico Bonazzoli is key for Cremonese because he has been part of their attacking line in both recent shapes and offers their clearest route to goal. |
