Udinese vs Torino prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2021-22
Fresh off the back of ending their three-game losing streak, Udinese welcome Torino to the Dacia Arena on Sunday.
The visitors, on the other hand, were denied a third victory on the trot last time out and will be looking to quickly bounce back to winning ways.
Udinese ended their losing streak two weeks ago when they held on for a goalless draw against Genoa away from home.
Prior to that, Gabriele Cioffi’s men were on a three-game run, including a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio, which saw their Coppa Italia campaign come to an end.
With 24 points from 22 games, Udinese are currently 15th in the Serie A table, albeit with one game in hand.
Meanwhile, Torino were denied a third consecutive win last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a resilient Sassuolo side.
Prior to that, Toro claimed a comprehensive 4-0 win over Fiorentina on January 5 before seeing off Sampdoria 2-1 five days later.
This fine run has seen Torino move into the top half of the table as they sit in 10th place after claiming 32 points from 22 games.
Udinese vs Torino Head-To-Head
The results have been split right down the middle in the history of this fixture, with both sides claiming 12 wins each from their last 31 meetings. The spoils have been shared on seven different occasions in that time.
