Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese play host to Verona at their Bluenergy Stadium – Stadio Friuli on Sunday afternoon. The Zebrette aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Roma, with the team eyeing their first home win of the process. Even though the likes of Enzo Ebosse, Brenner, Gerard Deulofeu, and Kingsley Ehizibue remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Udinese have been showing signs of improvement of late.
The Mastini, on the other hand, failed to win the previous eleven league matches and given their shaky defence, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. Fit-again winger Darko Lazovic is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Giangiacomo Magnani and Pawel Dawidowicz are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. Milan Djuric is widely expected to lead the line for the away team.
