Udinese vs Como

Udinese have won the first two home games in a single Serie A season for the first time since the 2014/15, with Andrea Stramaccioni on the bench (vs Empoli and Napoli).

Udinese have won two games in a row in Serie A for the first time since March 2023 (vs Empoli and Milan).

Udinese (2W, 1D) remained unbeaten in the first three seasonal matches of a single Serie A tournament for only the second time in the last 13 seasons, the only precedent in 2021/22 (2W, 1D also in that case with Luca Gotti on the bench).

Udinese and Como will return to face each other in a Serie A match more than 20 years after the last one on 19 April 2003: the Friulians won 3-2 at home under Luciano Spalletti (Marek Jankulolovski, Giampiero Pinzi and Vincenzo Iaquinta scored for the Bianconeri; Fabio Pecchia and Vedin Music for Como).

Udinese have won their last two Serie A matches against Como; only once have the Friulians strung together three consecutive wins in the competition against them (between March 1981 and April 1982, under Enzo Ferrari).

Como have never won against Udinese in nine away Serie A matches (D3 L6); only against Napoli have Como played more away games (11) without ever winning.

After three defeats in a row, Udinese are unbeaten in their last seven league games (W3 D4); the Friulians last had a longer streak of consecutive games without defeat in Serie A between August-October 2022 (nine in that case), while they could win two matches in a row in the top-flight for the first time since March 2023 (against Empoli and AC Milan).

Udinese have lost only one of their last nine home games (W3 D5) played against newly promoted teams in Serie A (against Salernitana 0-1 in April 2022); however, the Bianconeri have drawn five of their last six home games against these opponents (W1), including each of their last three in the competition.
