Form Guide

Udinese — All Games: 2W 1D 7L from 10 Serie A outings this season, averaging 0.70 points per game. Last five: L L L L L. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. Udinese have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Udinese's form when playing at home: 2W 2D 6L across 10 games at Bluenergy Stadium - Stadio Friuli this term (0.80 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.70 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.

Across all Serie A games this season, Parma have recorded 2W 1D 7L from 10 outings — 0.70 PPG. Last five: L D L W L. Their scoring rate of 0.70 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Parma have played only a handful of Serie A games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.

Parma away from home this season: 2W 2D 6L from 10 away games — 0.80 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Udinese at 0.70 PPG versus Parma's 0.70. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

On the goals front, neither side scores or concedes freely enough to make BTTS Yes the call. Udinese's 20% rate and Parma's 30% (using home/away splits) both sit well below average — BTTS No is the form-backed angle.

Head to Head

There is little to separate the sides historically. From 4 previous meetings, Udinese have won 3, Parma 1, with 0 draws — a balanced ledger that offers no obvious directional steer on its own.

The 4 previous meetings have averaged 2.2 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 18 Apr 2026, ended 0–1 with Parma winning.

The head-to-head offers no strong directional steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the predictive model and current market pricing should carry more weight than the historical record for this fixture.

In-Play Profile

Udinese in-play tendencies (44 games, 22 at home): they score before half-time in 62% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 41% of games (home games).

Parma in-play tendencies (44 games, 22 at away): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 32% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 32% of games (away games); they fail to score in 43% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Udinese 48% versus Parma 41%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Udinese 50% | Parma 32%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Udinese 1.29 xG and Parma 0.87 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Udinese attack 0.819 / defence 0.967 | Parma attack 0.727 / defence 1.093. League average goals — home 1.444 / away 1.240. Data: 44 Udinese games / 44 Parma games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Udinese 46% | Draw 29% | Parma 25%. Fair-value odds: Udinese 2.17 | Draw 3.45 | Parma 4.00. Udinese hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 37% | BTTS probability 42% | Total xG 2.16. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 63% — total xG of 2.16 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 42% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Udinese are the pick at 46% — moderate model lean. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Udinese offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

Poisson projects 2.16 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 37% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 1.9 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 42%. Form rates corroborate: Udinese 20% | Parma 30% BTTS from recent games.
