- Venezia have won 1 and lost 4 of their 5 home games in Serie A 2026/2027, conceding 10 goals already.
- Udinese have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their 4 away fixtures in Serie A 2026/2027, scoring 7 goals at a rate of 1.75 per game on average.
- Both clubs have a similar goal-scoring problem.
A game of attrition at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo
The odds make Venezia the 2.44 favourites here against an Udinese side that can be backed at 3.11, which suggests the game will be tight and the margin for error quite thin.
I Lagunari can boast rough home numbers, but they are not great overall. Davide Nicola, who has been in charge since 14 October 2026, has been trying to shape a more balanced team that can be a bit more phase-aware and he is having some success in that respect.
Venezia's home numbers in 2026/2027 Serie A are 1 win and 4 defeats from five with 10 goals conceded and they look much more likely to nick a game like this rather than win it by a couple of goals.
Back-to-back defeats to Genoa and Inter have left Venezia in desperate need of a lift and they will be keen to avoid a third straight loss here, but they are in 20th spot on 3 points after 9 fixtures while Udinese are one place better off in 17th on 5 and could be the ones to spoil the party.
Kosta Runjaic has been in charge of Udinese since 14 June 2024 and has moulded them into a compact, direct side that have structure and coherence in all three phases of the game.
Head-to-head history suggests the visitor’s should nick it
Udinese's away numbers in Serie A 2026/2027 are not stellar, but they are no worse than the hosts and do offer a little more in terms of potential for danger. They have won 1, drawn 1 and lost 2 on the road with 7 goals scored at a healthy rate of 1.75.
There have been no draws in the last three meetings between these clubs with Udinese taking 2 and Venezia the other and Le Zebrette have the better of the head-to-head overall. Udinese won the most recent clash, a 2-1 victory in the Coppa Italia 2026/2027, but they failed to win their last away fixture to Venezia.
There are two other reasons why the away side, who are winless in five (D2, L3), could have a chance here. Firstly, they won't arrive with the fearsome away edge because they haven't won in their last three on the road and secondly, Udinese have lost their two most recent games, to Lecce and AC Milan, prior to a 0-0 draw at Parma last time out.
Punting suggestions
The both teams to score - No market looks a touch on the short side at 1.91 given both clubs have the same problem of not scoring enough and conceding too many.
Venezia are on a run of 4 defeats and 1 win in their last five Serie A 2026/2027 games, but the lack of firepower up front is beginning to show with every game now starting to feel like a grind.
Under 2.5 goals at 1.85 looks the sharper angle here as this should be a close, tense match-up between two of the bottom three clubs in the Serie A 2026/2027 table.
Index betting tips
Gianluca Busio has been the creative spark for Venezia in four Serie A 2026/2027 matches, laying down 2 assists from midfield.
Akor Adams is Venezia's main goal threat, albeit with just one goal in five Serie A 2026/2027 appearances, so he will need to be on form to carry the midfield-to-box responsibility up top.
Hassane Kamara has scored 2 goals in 5 appearances and is likely to be his side's biggest threat from the flanks, so back him to get on the scoresheet here.
