Venezia vs Udinese Game Preview

Last place hosts 19th at the Pier Luigi Penzo on Friday, as Venezia and Udinese meet in a Serie A relegation scrap where neither side can afford another slip.

Venezia sit at the foot of the standings on 3 points under Davide Nicola. Even so, the moneyline makes them narrow favorites at +138 (Kalshi), which tells you plenty about the visitors.

Udinese turned to Paolo Zanetti after sacking Kosta Runjaic, with a 5-2 home loss to Roma the final straw. They are priced at +250 (Polymarket) on the moneyline.

The previous meetings tally favors Udinese, with four wins to Venezia's two and no ties. With both clubs stuck in the bottom two, the loser sinks even deeper.

Venezia vs Udinese Recent Results

Venezia prop up the Serie A standings, and the slump is real: they have failed to score in their last 3 Serie A games. Home has offered no relief, with four losses from five outings at the Penzo. John Yeboah carries the most threat up top, but the finishing around him has been poor.

Udinese are not much better, having lost 7 of their last 8 Serie A games, a run that cost Runjaic his job. Road form is their lifeline, with 4 of their 5 points earned away from home. Keinan Davis leads the line, with Jurgen Ekkelenkamp pulling the strings behind him.

Venezia vs Udinese Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

Our Venezia vs Udinese prediction is a messy, open game with goals at both ends. Venezia are the narrow favorites, with our projections giving them a 41.15% win probability, but a home side that keeps losing at the Penzo has not earned much trust. Udinese have done their best work on the road, and with both defenses this fragile, the smart play is backing goals rather than leaning on a shaky favorite tag.

Best Picks

Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The first of our Venezia vs Udinese best picks sits in the Total Goals Over/Under market, where the projected total of 3.12 goals clears the line with room to spare. The head-to-head agrees, with over 2.5 goals in Venezia's last 5 games against Udinese in all competitions.

Both teams to score: Yes, in the Both Teams To Score market. In the Both Teams To Score market, our projections put both sides finding the net at 62.35%, and Udinese have scored at least 2 goals in their last 5 games against Venezia in all competitions. Venezia's scoring drought is the worry, but a depleted Udinese squad adjusting to a brand-new coach should give Yeboah and Adams room to work.

Venezia vs Udinese Same Game Parlay

Our Venezia vs Udinese Same Game Parlay picks combine Udinese on the moneyline, two Akor Adams shooting props and a Jesper Karlström card.

Udinese on the Moneyline is priced at +250 (Polymarket). Venezia have lost 9 of their last 10 games in Serie A, and that is the whole argument for siding with the visitors.

Akor Adams Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market. Across his last 10 Serie A appearances, the striker has hit the target at least once in eight of them.

Akor Adams Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market. Nine of his previous 10 Serie A appearances have seen him attempt 2+ shots, and he leads a line that shoots on sight.

Jesper Karlström in the To Be Shown A Card market. This selection has come in twice across his last three games, and there have been 6+ cards in 3 of the last 3 meetings between Udinese vs Venezia (Serie A).

Venezia vs Udinese Talking Points

The sideline storyline writes itself. Paolo Zanetti makes his Udinese debut against Venezia, the club he previously managed and guided to Serie A promotion in 2020/21. On the other bench, Davide Nicola is still new to the Venezia job, having replaced Giovanni Stroppa after six opening league defeats. Tactically, watch Venezia's right side: they like to attack down that flank and break on the counter, while Udinese struggle to defend attacks down the wings. If Antoine Hainaut gets loose early, this one gets messy fast.
