Udinese host Cremonese at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine in a Serie A fixture that means very different things to each side at this stage of the season.
Udinese sit 10th in the table and have been one of Serie A's more unpredictable outfits this term. Kosta Runjaic's side have shown they can beat the best — a 3-0 win at AC Milan stands as their most eye-catching result of the run-in — but inconsistency has kept them from pushing higher up the standings.
Their recent form has been encouraging. Back-to-back wins over Torino and Cagliari have given the club momentum, though a 3-3 draw with Lazio and a defeat to Parma earlier in the stretch serve as reminders that nothing is guaranteed.
The fixture has also been touched by off-pitch controversy. Udinese forward Keinan Davis publicly accused Cagliari's Alberto Dossena of directing a racial slur at him during last weekend's match, calling on Serie A officials to act. It has cast a shadow over what should be a celebratory end to the campaign for a side comfortably clear of trouble.
Cremonese arrive in a far more precarious position, sitting 18th in the table and deep in the relegation fight. Their season has largely been a struggle against the division's top clubs, though a 3-0 win over Pisa last weekend showed they are still capable of putting a performance together when the pressure is on.
That win over Pisa will have provided some relief, but the table tells a harsh story. With matches running out, Cremonese need points urgently, and a trip to a side in form makes this a stern test.
Here is everything you need to know about where to watch Udinese vs Cremonese, including TV channel, live stream options, and kick-off time.

Injuries and Suspensions
Form
Udinese have recorded three wins, one draw, and one defeat from their last five Serie A matches. Their most recent result was a 2-0 win over Cagliari on May 9, continuing a run of back-to-back victories after they beat Torino 2-0 the week before. They drew 3-3 with Lazio in late April and lost 1-0 to Parma Calcio earlier in the stretch, though their 3-0 win at AC Milan on April 11 remains the standout result of the sequence. Udinese have been clinical in front of goal across this run, and their defensive record in the two most recent wins points to a more settled backline.
Cremonese have taken one win, one draw, and three defeats from their last five Serie A games. Their most recent outing was a 3-0 victory over Pisa on May 10, a bright result that snapped a run of three matches without a win. Before that, they lost 2-1 to Lazio and were beaten 4-0 by SSC Napoli in late April, with a goalless draw at Torino sandwiched in between. Their 1-0 defeat at Cagliari on April 11 opened that difficult stretch.
