- Venezia have won one and lost four of their five Serie A 2026/2027 home games so far.
- Udinese have won none of their last three away matches.
- However, Venezia have conceded 10 goals already at home.
Lagunari licking their wounds
This Serie A 2026/2027 clash of relegation rivals is a classic case of Venezia's relentless pressing style versus Udinese's compact, three-at-the-back structure. It's a clash that could go either way, but the visitors seem to have a slight advantage in the head-to-head.
Le Zebrette have won two of the last three meetings while Venezia have won once and neither has ever drawn a game between them. Udinese beat I Lagunari 2-1 at home in the Coppa Italia 2026/2027 last time out, but failed to win at Venezia on the last occasion.
Venezia have won just one of their past five Serie A 2026/2027 matches, losing four, and face Udinese coming off successive defeats to Genoa and Inter. Davide Nicola has made some improvements to Venezia since taking charge on 14th October 2026, but the lack of penetration at the very top is a problem and they're in danger of grinding this out.
Solid Zebrette could spoil the party
Hassane Kamara is Udinese's top goalscorer with two goals in five Serie A 2026/2027 appearances and is the best option for a goal from the wings in their 3-4-2-1 or 3-5-2 shapes.
Akor Adams is I Lagunari's main threat with one goal in five and is their hope for box-to-box potency up front. Gianluca Busio is their main creative outlet with two assists in four Serie A 2026/2027 outings, so he can provide bite in between the lines.
Udinese arrive in poor nick after a run of five winless games (D2, L3) in which they lost to Lecce and AC Milan and were held to a 0-0 draw by Parma. Kosta Runjaic, who has done a solid job since taking the reigns on 14th June 2024, needs to get them back on the road as they have won just once, drawn once and lost twice away from home.
Opposites attract
Venezia have a good chance of snatching the win here, especially as they are slight favourites ahead of Udinese, but the home side are hard to back with that kind of price. It's a close call and we're taking the slightly superior odds about the visiting side spoiling the party and nicking it.
The odds for both teams to score - No at 91/100 appeals, but it's more of a cagey affair that Udinese could just nick. We're going for under 2.5 goals at 17/20, which also fits our view that Venezia can nick it in a tight game.
