Udinese
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Verona
Udinese play host to Verona at their Stadio Friuli in the opening match of their Serie A campaign. The Zebrette enjoyed a very successful preseason and they must be high on confidence following a 2-0 Coppa Italia win over Carrarese. Towering striker Lorenzo Lucca has a completed a move to Napoli, attacking midfielder Florian Thauvin has joined Ligue 1 side Lens. As a result, a man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Luca Kjerrumgaard.
The Mastini, on the other hand, failed to impress in the Italian Cup win over Audace Cerignola, with the team beating the lower-league side on penalties. As over the years Udinese have turned their “Friuli” into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return to the “City of Love” empty-handed. To make things even worse for the away side, defender Nicolas Valentini picked up a knock in the Coppa Italia game.
