Udinese will look to end their long wait for a home league win when they welcome Cagliari to the Stadio Friuli in Serie A gameweek six. The hosts have not celebrated a victory in front of their own supporters since March and are determined to make amends against a familiar opponent they have dominated in recent years. Unbeaten in their last six Serie A encounters with the Sardinians, Udinese have taken four wins and two draws since their last defeat to Cagliari in 2021, including a league double last season. They now aim to record a third consecutive top-flight win in this fixture and continue their four-year unbeaten run in head-to-head league meetings. Despite success in the Coppa Italia this term, where they defeated Carrarese and Palermo in Udine, Kosta Runjaic’s side have struggled to translate cup form into league consistency at home. A seven-match winless run at the Friuli, including this season’s 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona and 3-0 loss to AC Milan, has frustrated the supporters. However, Udinese have performed better on the road, collecting two wins from three away games, and the challenge for Runjaic is to instil the same attacking confidence at home. Sitting 11th in the standings, the Little Zebras need a strong result to push towards the top half.

Cagliari arrive in Udine on a mixed note. Fabio Pisacane’s side halted a run of three consecutive away defeats with a 2-1 win at Lecce, thanks to a brace from Andrea Belotti. That victory was a rare success outside Sardinia, marking just their third away win of 2025 after triumphs at Monza and Verona earlier in the year. Yet, their historical record at the Friuli remains poor, with only one win in their last six top-flight visits and a total of two victories in their past ten meetings across all competitions. Pisacane will seek to draw inspiration from their 2-1 Coppa Italia win at this venue two years ago, though his task has become significantly harder following Belotti’s serious knee injury sustained against Inter. The striker, who has been Cagliari’s main source of goals, could miss the rest of the season, leaving a void in attack that Sebastiano Esposito or Luigi Borrelli must now try to fill. The Sardinians also remain without Zappa, Luvumbo and Pintus, while doubts linger over Gaetano and Rodriguez’s fitness ahead of the trip north.

Udinese will again be without suspended goalkeeper Maduka Okoye and injured forwards Vakoun Bayo and Adam Buksa. Nonetheless, the emergence of Keinan Davis, who scored in their last match, offers renewed optimism in attack. With both teams evenly matched in form and struggling for consistency, this clash could be finely balanced. Udinese’s home issues and Cagliari’s poor away record suggest a tight encounter where neither side may find the edge.

乌迪内斯将在意甲第六周的比赛中欢迎卡利亚里来到弗留利球场，以此结束他们漫长的等待。自今年3月以来，东道主还没有在自己的支持者面前庆祝过胜利，他们决心在面对一个熟悉的对手时做出弥补，这是他们近年来一直统治的对手。乌迪内斯在最近6次意甲对阵撒丁岛人的比赛中保持不败，自2021年输给卡利亚里以来，他们取得了4胜2平的成绩，其中包括上赛季的联赛双冠王。他们现在的目标是在这场比赛中连续第三次取得顶级联赛的胜利，并继续他们在联赛正面交锋中的四年不败纪录。尽管本赛季在意大利杯上取得了成功，在乌迪内击败了卡拉雷塞和巴勒莫，但科斯塔·龙吉克的球队在主场很难将杯赛的状态转化为联赛的稳定性。在弗留利球场的七场比赛中，包括本赛季1-1战平维罗纳和0 - 3负于AC米兰，这让球迷们感到沮丧。然而，乌迪内斯在客场表现得更好，在三场客场比赛中取得了两场胜利，而伦贾克面临的挑战是在主场灌输同样的进攻信心。小斑马队目前排名第11位，他们需要一个强有力的结果来推动球队进入上半区。

卡利亚里来到乌迪内的消息喜忧参半。法比奥·皮萨凯恩的球队在客场2-1战胜莱切，结束了客场三连败的局面，这要感谢贝洛蒂的进球。这场胜利是撒丁岛以外罕见的成功，这是他们继今年早些时候在蒙扎和维罗纳取得胜利后，2025年的第三次客场胜利。然而，他们在弗留利的历史战绩仍然很差，在最近的六次顶级联赛中只取得了一场胜利，在过去的十次交锋中总共取得了两场胜利。皮萨凯恩将从两年前意大利杯2-1的胜利中汲取灵感，尽管在贝洛蒂对国米的比赛中膝盖严重受伤后，他的任务变得更加艰巨。这名前锋是卡利亚里的主要进球来源，他可能会错过本赛季剩下的比赛，留下埃斯波西托或博雷利现在必须努力填补的进攻空白。撒丁岛人同样没有扎帕、卢温博和平图斯，而盖塔诺和罗德里格斯在北上之前的健康状况也令人怀疑。

乌迪内斯门将奥科耶将再次停赛，受伤的前锋巴约和布萨将再次缺阵。尽管如此，在上一场比赛中进球的凯南·戴维斯的出现，给球队的进攻带来了新的乐观情绪。由于两支球队在状态上势均力敌，并且都在努力保持稳定，这场冲突可能会很好地平衡。乌迪内斯的主场问题和卡利亚里糟糕的客场战绩表明这是一场激烈的交锋，双方都没有优势。
