Udinese to be relegated from the Italian Serie A has shortened to a best price of 5/2 with Bet365, in from 4/1, as four bookmakers cut their odds.
The odds on Udinese to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have been slashed from 4/1 to 5/2 with Bet365, and on this evidence the bookmakers have every reason to be nervous.
Four bookmakers have cut their odds on Udinese, and Bet365 now offer the best price at 5/2.
Parma are still the favourites at 8/15 with Bet365, with Udinese fifth-shortest in the market.
Last weekend's 2-0 home defeat to AC Milan made it six league losses on the bounce.
Udinese sit 17th on four points, level with Parma before the two clubs meet on Wednesday.
The latest blow landed at home against AC Milan. Christian Pulisic struck early, Omari Hutchinson added a second after the break, and the 2-0 defeat stretched Udinese's losing league run to six matches. Afterwards Kosta Runjaic insisted his squad remained "full of life" despite some early defensive lapses, but supporters judge a team on points, not body language, and the points simply are not coming. A side that keeps gifting opponents a head start is a side that spends the whole afternoon chasing the game.
That is the backdrop to the market move. Owner Gino Pozzo and the club hierarchy have publicly reaffirmed their backing for Runjaic, yet the club have also made exploratory contact with potential managerial alternatives. A board hedging its bets is rarely a sign of calm behind the scenes, and the bookmakers have read it exactly that way: the odds on Udinese to be relegated from the Italian Serie A have come in to 5/2 with Bet365. A team sliding down the log while the coach's position wobbles is precisely the kind of story that shortens a price, and this one has shortened sharply.
Italian Serie A Relegation odds
Best odds 5/2 with Bet365, worst 2/1 with William Hill. That gap between the two firms shows the market is still deciding just how much trouble Udinese are in.

Will Udinese be relegated from the Italian Serie A?
Parma are the favourites at a best price of 8/15 with Bet365, with Udinese fifth-shortest at 5/2 with Bet365. The twist is that the two clubs are level on points, with Parma sitting below Udinese in the table, and they go head to head on Wednesday. With the bottom of the log this tight, the result of that fixture could reshape the whole market in a hurry, and Udinese arrive on the back of a run that gives the bookmakers little reason to be generous.
Venezia – 4/6 with Bet365, next in line behind Parma in the betting.
Monza – 11/10 with Bet365, the third-shortest selection in the market.
Lecce – 13/8 with Bet365, the last side priced shorter than Udinese.
Udinese – 5/2 with Bet365, in from 4/1 and the clear mover in this market.

How can Udinese avoid being relegated from the Italian Serie A?
The simple answer is to start picking up points, and quickly. The club's hierarchy have marked the trip to Parma on Wednesday and the visit of Roma that follows as decisive tests for Runjaic. Come away from both empty-handed and those exploratory talks with alternatives could turn into something firmer, with the price likely to tighten again. Take points off a direct rival at Parma, though, and this market could ease just as fast as it came in. Our view: until Udinese stop conceding the cheap early goals that undid them against AC Milan, the move is justified, and 5/2 with Bet365 looks a fair reflection of a club in real trouble.
