Udinese hosts Venezia in round 2 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Friday, August 27th at Dacia Arena (Udine)
Udinese are tough middle peasants in Serie A, who have not left the top division for many years. In the 2021/2022 season, the team has not lost a single game yet. In the 1/32 finals of the Italian Cup, the Black-and-Whites did not experience problems with Ascoli (3-1), and they caused problems for Juventus in the championship. Luca Gotti's charges created a sensation, having won back two goals. Udinese perked up only in the second half. First, one goal was won back by Roberto Pereira, who had previously scored a brace in the cup. Then the score was leveled by Gerard Deulofeu, who came on as a substitute. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, and there is nothing surprising in such a result. Juventus needs to be reorganized after the arrival of a new coach, and the hosts' xG indicator was higher (2.09 vs 1.49).

Venezia is a newcomer to the top division of Italian football, which so far has only effectively and vividly presented all the kits. But the game and the results cannot be called successful yet. In the 1/32 finals of the Italian Cup, the team defeated the representative of Serie B, Frosinone, only on penalties. In turn, the Winged Lions failed to earn three points in the Italian championship. It is much more difficult to play here, and the competitors have strengthened well in the summer. The debut in Serie A began with an away match against Napoli. Even though the Neapolitans were left in the minority by the middle of the first half, the Orange-Black-Greens failed to score points. Napoli beat Venezia in Naples with a 2-0 score.
Although Udinese sold key player Rodrigo de Paul to Atlético Madrid in the summer, the club is looking good so far. In two starting matches of the new season, the team sent five goals into the opponents' nets. It will be difficult for the newcomer to compete with the regular representatives of Serie A, as the squad of Venezia is very modest. We expect that the favorite of the confrontation will score at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Udinese to score over 1.5 goals
