Verona hosts Udinese in round 5 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 24th at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona)
Verona is not inclined to scoring matches. The team sacrifices visual appeal for pragmatism. It reasonably believes that the points earned are more important than spectacular tricks. Thus, it played 3 of the 4 rounds of the championship with Under 2.5 goals scored, having earned 4 points with a goal difference of 3-4. It is an average of fewer than 2 goals per match. And in the preseason, if we exclude the debut match against very weak team Primiero (I even could not find where it plays, and Verona scored as many as 12 goals), the Mastiffs played other games with Under 2.5 goals scored. And such a result was recorded in 12 of their last 15 matches.

Having beaten Milan in the 1st round, Udinese lost the remaining 3 matches and scored only 1 goal in them. In general, like the upcoming opponent, it played with Under 2.5 goals scored in 3 of 4 championship games. The goal difference is 2-5. The team did not strive for spectacular games in the last championship wither, having played with Under 2.5 goals scored in 22 of 38 rounds. As we see, the situation is the same now. In general, Udinese had problems with the attack in the last championship. The team scored only 39 goals. In total, 3 teams had less, and 2 of them left the league. As we see, the same story repeats. Neither forwards that were in the team (Lasagna, Okaka, Pussetto) nor Nestorovski bought from Palermo can’t cope with their duties so far.
We should not wait for a scoring match. Verona (as the host of the field) will take control of the match, but it will not run to the attack at breakneck speed. The Mastiffs will cripple the opponents’ defense until they begin to make mistakes. And if they are lucky to score a goal, they will just “roll” the ball until the end of the game. The goal of the visitors (who have obvious problems in the attack) is unlikely to happen. So, it turns out that the outcome of the game will be decided by 1 or 2 goals or even without them.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
