Venue (City, Stadium) | Venice, Pier Luigi Penzo |
It's bottom against second-bottom on Friday night as Venezia vs Udinese puts the two lowest sides in Serie A head to head at the Pier Luigi Penzo.
Davide Nicola's Venezia have suffered 11 defeats from their past 12 league games in Serie A, and have drawn a blank in three straight league outings. Grim reading before a home game.
Udinese have sacked Kosta Runjaic and brought in Paolo Zanetti, whose first game in charge is against his former club. Seven defeats in their latest eight Serie A outings explain why.
Udinese lead the previous meetings with four wins. Venezia have won two and none have been drawn, and with both sides stuck in the bottom two, the stakes could hardly be higher.
Venezia vs Udinese Form
Venezia are bottom of the table for a reason, with nine defeats in their most recent ten league games in Serie A. Home hasn't helped, with defeats in four of their five outings at the Penzo. Akor Adams carries most of the threat up front, but finishing is a glaring weakness for this side and the goals have dried up.
Udinese have taken a single point from their last eight league outings, and that run cost Runjaic his job. Oddly, they have been better away from home, where they have earned 4 of their 5 points. Ekkelenkamp and Zaniolo are set to support Keinan Davis, and that front three has to start delivering for Zanetti.

Venezia vs Udinese Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Venezia vs Udinese prediction is a messy, open game with goals at both ends. Venezia are marginal favourites at 5/4 with Betfred, but this is two struggling sides rather than a good team hosting a bad one. The projection only just edges the hosts, by 1.67 goals to 1.51, so the margin is wafer thin and Udinese at a bigger price are not a side to dismiss.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. Udinese have scored at least twice in each of their last five meetings with Venezia, and the last five meetings between these sides have all gone over 2.5 goals. This is the strongest of our Venezia vs Udinese best bets. The projection puts the total at 3.18 goals, and Udinese keep turning up in attack in this fixture, so Venezia's recent blanks matter less than they might seem.
Both Teams To Score: Yes. The model projects both sides to score, with Venezia at 1.67 and Udinese at 1.51. The projection rates both teams to score at 63.22%, comfortably above what the price implies. Udinese have had 5+ shots on target in 4 out of 4 matches against Venezia in Serie A, and Venezia's threat on the counter should find gaps in a side that struggles to protect a lead.
Venezia vs Udinese Bet Builder
Our Venezia vs Udinese bet builder tips combine an away win with two Akor Adams shot markets and a card for Jesper Karlström.
Udinese to win. The hosts' last ten Serie A games brought nine defeats, and 12/5 with Betfair Sportsbook is fair for visitors who do their best work away from home.
Akor Adams over 0.5 shots on target. The striker has hit the target at least once in 8 of his previous 10 Serie A appearances, even while Venezia have struggled to score.
Akor Adams over 1.5 shots. Nine of his latest ten Serie A appearances have featured two or more attempts, and as the focal point of the 3-5-2 he will get his looks.
Jesper Karlström to be shown a card. He anchors Udinese's engine room and has been booked in two of his three most recent matches. Meetings between these sides tend to get feisty, too.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 27/2 and is as short as 10/1 elsewhere.

Venezia vs Udinese Talking Points
Zanetti's first game on the Udinese bench comes against his former club, and his message since arriving has been blunt: "with me, those who run and deserve it play." Nicola, meanwhile, has asked Venezia for "courage and balance" and warned against being overawed by Udinese's physical strength. That warning is fair. Venezia are strong in the air and dangerous on the counter, but they are loose at the back, especially against through balls and long shots. With the Venezia vs Udinese betting odds barely separating two sides in the bottom two, a new-manager lift for Udinese could be what settles it.
