Udinese vs Padova: Under 2.5 goals
Udinese's 0.9 xG at home meets Padova's 1.35 xG on the road, but the model leans heavily toward a low‑scoring affair. The numbers point to an Under 2.5 goals outcome.
In this Coppa Italia first‑round tie, Udinese will try to overturn a recent 2‑3 defeat to Padova, while the visitors look to repeat that surprise. Both sides have struggled to find the net lately, setting the stage for a tight contest.
Robbo's Verdict
The model’s 60.9% probability for under 2.5 goals makes this the most convincing selection.
Show the maths
With Udinese averaging 0.9 expected goals and Padova averaging 1.35, the model gives a 56.0% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 44.0% it gives to both teams scoring.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.2 (Udinese 0.9 + Padova 1.35) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 60.9% chance against 39.1% for Over.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Udinese at 25.0%, the draw at 27.8%, and Padova at 47.2% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 0-1 at 14.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Udinese
Udinese’s recent league run includes a 2‑0 win away at Cagliari, followed by consecutive 0‑1 defeats to Cremonese at home and Napoli away. The win shows they can score, but back‑to‑back losses without scoring underline a drying offensive output, reinforcing the low‑goal expectation for this cup tie.
Padova
Padova’s recent form is unavailable, so we cannot draw concrete conclusions from their league results. Nonetheless, their season‑long away xG of 1.35 combined with a zero away goals‑for average suggests they have struggled to convert chances, supporting the under‑goal forecast.
Head-to-Head
The most recent head‑to‑head on 25 March 2024 ended 3‑2 to Padova, a high‑scoring game that contrasts with the current low‑xG trends, indicating the past result is unlikely to repeat here.
