Udinese vs Venezia prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 1, 2025
One of the matches of the 23rd round of the Italian Serie A will take place on Saturday at the Friuli Stadium, where Udinese will host Venezia. We suggest a bet on the goals in this match with a good coefficient.
Match Preview
Compared to their strong start to the season, Kostas Runjaic's side has noticeably slowed down. Even at home, their results have declined, mainly due to a decrease in attacking efficiency. In the first five home matches of the season, Udinese scored eight goals, but in the next six, the team failed to score in three of those games, managing only four goals in total.
In the last round, Udinese lost 1-2 at home to Roma, extending their winless streak to five matches in Serie A (3 draws and 2 losses). Moreover, the team has conceded at least two goals in 11 matches this season. In the standings, they have 26 points and have dropped to 11th place, just ahead of Genoa on goal difference. Udinese has not won in their last six home matches in Serie A (2 draws, 4 losses).
Meanwhile, Eusebio Di Francesco's team played a 1-1 draw with Verona in the last round, extending their winless run to five matches in Serie A (3 draws and 2 losses). Interestingly, Venezia has not conceded more than one goal in six of their last matches, showing stability in defense. However, their attacking potential leaves much to be desired.
Venezia remains in the relegation zone, occupying 19th place with 16 points. Interestingly, the team is still the only one that has not won an away match this season in Serie A. In their last 18 away games, Venezia has not recorded a single victory (5 draws and 13 losses).
