Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese will look to recover from back-to-back losses to Como and AS Roma when they take on Venezia in the Serie A round 23. The Zebrette do not seem to be at their sharpest, but Saturday’s clash could turn their fortunes around in the Italian top flight. The good news for the hosts is that defender Oumar Solet is back from suspension, while Sweden midfielder Jesper Karlstrom serves a one-game ban.
I Lagunari, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Verona. Under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of Venezia’s last five league games and yet another low-scoring is on the cards. Home win, though, should be considered as Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have yet to record a win on the road this term. Michael Svoboda remains in the recovery room, while all Crnigoj, Sagrado, Sverko, and Schingtienne are rated doubtful for the visiting side.
