Udinese take on the visitors Verona in the round 2-0 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, January 30th at Dacia Arena (Udine).
Udinese are fairly strong team, which can consider itself to be the regular in Serie A. Yes, and they are not close to repeating the achievements of the Di Natale era, but they consistently scored enough points for a quiet survival. In the last draw, changing the mentor, the representative of Friuli finished in 12th position. But in the summer a new coach appeared here, and it seemed that the “zebras” could finally breakthrough. They, starting from the end of August, gave out 6 victories in a row, and even climbed into the group of leaders for some time. But then the winning streak was replaced by winless one. Yes, there were draws, including with top opponents - Atalanta, Lazio - but a 10-match streak without victories in Calcio threw them out of the European Cup zone. And only with Sampdoria, a crisis team that is fighting for survival, it turned out to win on January 22. Ehisibue's late goal turned out to be the only one in Genoa, and allowed, having scored 3 points, to jump into 7th place.

Verona at one time, under Ivan Juric, was able to turn from a football “elevator” into a strong participant in Serie A. But the Croat, as expected, outgrew the level of this project, and moved to a more ambitious, having more opportunities - “Torino”. This immediately hit the Mastiffs' potential, but they managed to save last season due to a successful coaching reshuffle. But Igor Tudor, who showed himself perfectly, also left in the offseason, to Marseille. The start was failed again, but Hellas this time could not add even after Bocchetti took the post of mentor. At first, Salvatore could not show anything, and his wards looked hopeless, having lost everything up to the last round - as a result, the losing streak reached 10 matches in a row. It seems the coach has properly disposed of a long break. After it, they could immediately win, just against Torino, but Miranchuk's goal saved at least a draw for the Pomegranates and their current mentor, Juric. But then they still won, first at Cremonese, and then at Lecce, and with an identical score of 2-0. Yes, and with Inter was a good match, but the early goal of Lautaro Martinez could not be answered.
Verona took 4 points in head-to-heads last season. But in October, the Zebras were able to take a 2-1 away victory. The duel will take place in Friuli, and perhaps that is why “Udinese” is considered by experts as a clear favorite in this pair. But still, Verona looks “alive” in winter, so you should use the option for your bet with the victory of the visitors with a handicap of “+1 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Verona to win with +1.0 handicap.
