Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Venezia and Udinese take on each other at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo on day 10 of the new Serie A campaign. I Lagunari have been struggling to find their best form, but there were some positivities in their game in a 2-2 draw with Monza. Both Bjarki Bjarkason and Marin Sverko are rated doubtful for the hosts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Zebrette, meanwhile, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Cagliari. Udinese have a chance to climb to the Champions League berth and given Venezia’s shaky defence, away win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Udinese have defeated Venezia in each of their last three meetings in the Italian top flight. Chile ace Alexis Sanchez is unlikely to be risked, while Florian Thauvin is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
