Hellas Verona (Home)
- Hellas Verona are bottom of the table with 14 points from as many games and have won only one of their last ten at home, drawing three and losing six.
- Verona are winless in their last five (D2, L3), losing 2-3 to Bologna at home and drawing 0-0 away to Cremonese.
- Paolo Zanetti has attempted to make his side compact, with the width provided by his wing-backs and quick transitions into attack, while Udinese coach Kosta Runjaic has implemented a more pro-active, vertical style of play that suits his team’s personnel better.
Udinese Calcio (Away)
- Udinese Calcio are positioned higher in the table with 26 points from 21 games and have won four of their 10 Serie A away games, drawing one.
- Udinese have drawn two and lost two of their last five Serie A games, which included a 2-2 home draw with Pisa and a 0-1 defeat to Inter.
- The matchup will be fascinating to watch as it is likely to be decided by the quality of the wing-backs and how well they manage the transitions, with Verona hoping to frustrate and then counter attack while Udinese will want to dominate the ball and space to move forward quickly.
Head-to-Head
- Udinese have not beaten Hellas Verona in their last three attempts.
- The Gialloblu have had the better of the Serie A head-to-head record between the two in recent years, winning one and drawing two of the previous three.
Key Players
- Gift Orban

Betting Insights
- Both teams to score is available at 1.75.
- Udinese are considered the value pick as they are just slightly better than the hosts in most areas of the game and, more crucially, much better in Serie A 2025-2026.
- The contest is likely to be decided by wing-back battles and transition play, which supports markets around goals and double-chance options.
Prediction
- The hosts have lost their last three home games and failed to win or draw in their last three at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
- We’re backing Udinese to nick this Serie A game at a slight favorite on the double chance.
