Stadio Friuli in Udine hosts a Serie A Matchday 35 encounter on 2 May 2026 as Udinese welcome Torino in what promises to be an entertaining and open contest between two mid-table sides. Both clubs come into this fixture with clear mid-table ambitions and plenty of motivation to finish the season strongly, despite being free from the pressures of relegation or European qualification. Separated by just two points in the standings, this match carries real importance for their respective top-half ambitions with just four games remaining in the 2025-26 Serie A campaign.
Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM CEST at the Stadio Friuli, Udine.
Udinese: Impressive but Inconsistent at Home
Udinese have had a quietly impressive Serie A season under coach Kosta Runjaić. The Friulani sit 11th in the table with 40 points and have shown on numerous occasions that they are capable of competing with the division’s best sides. Since March, they have taken points off Atalanta and Como, claimed victories over Genoa and Fiorentina, and produced one of the season’s most stunning results with a 3-0 away win at AC Milan’s San Siro. That win in particular illustrated the quality and confidence this Udinese side possesses when they are at their best.
However, heading into this fixture, there is one significant concern for the home side. Udinese have failed to score in three consecutive home matches in Serie A, a worrying goal drought that will need to be addressed against an improving Torino side. The fitness of top scorer Keinan Davis remains in doubt, and his absence has been keenly felt in those recent home blanks. Artur Atta has emerged as a key creative contributor and Niclas Ekkelenkamp provides energy in midfield, but Udinese will need to rediscover their attacking edge at the Stadio Friuli to take all three points.
Their most recent result was a 3-3 draw with Lazio, a chaotic and entertaining match that perfectly reflects the unpredictable nature of this Udinese side. They were on course for victory before conceding in stoppage time, a moment of frustration that manager Runjaić will want his players to put behind them quickly. The coach has spoken positively about his team’s growth this season, saying the club is playing with clear ambition and a desire to collect as many points as possible in the final weeks.
Torino: Rejuvenated Under Roberto D’Aversa
Torino’s season has been transformed under new manager Roberto D’Aversa, who took charge during the campaign and has collected an impressive 14 points from his first eight games in charge. The Granata have become a much more dynamic and clinical side under their new manager, and their recent form reflects a team that is growing in confidence with every passing week.
Striker Giovanni Simeone has been in excellent goalscoring form and continues to find the net regularly, making him one of the most dangerous centre-forwards in the mid-table bracket of Serie A. Torino’s most recent result was a creditable 2-2 draw with Inter Milan, a performance that showed tremendous character and quality against the league leaders. Four games without defeat heading into this fixture is a real statement of improved form under D’Aversa.
Torino have scored at least two goals in each of their last three away matches against Udinese in all competitions, which is a significant and encouraging statistic for the visiting side. Their away form has improved significantly under the new manager, and they will travel to Udine with genuine confidence of picking up a positive result.
Head to Head Record
Udinese won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier in the season, and if they win here, they would complete a league double over Torino for the first time since 2008. However, the historical record between these sides favours Torino, with the visitors having only lost once in the last twenty meetings between the clubs. Torino have drawn five and won eleven of their last twenty encounters with Udinese, a record that gives them strong encouragement heading into Saturday’s match.
