Udinese’s recent form across all competitions highlights severe structural deficiencies in out-of-possession phases, leaving them winless in their last five outings. Allowing an average of 2.4 conceded/game, Kosta Runjaić’s 3-5-2 system struggles to compress vertical space between lines, exposing Maduka Okoye to constant high-percentage chances. Offensive output remains equally constrained at 1.0 goals/game, heavily dependent on isolated individual moments from Keinan Davis rather than controlled buildup play.
