Verona vs Udinese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2024-04-19 18:45.
[p]Relegation-threatened Hellas Verona gave top-six hopefuls Atalanta a rude awakening last time out, as they came back from 2-0 down to claim a 2-2 draw on the road. Despite their current four-game winless run (D2, L2), Marco Baroni’s side still managed to preserve their one point advantage over the relegation zone ahead of the round thanks to last weekend’s impressive draw.[/p]
[p]Back-to-back home defeats halted a positive run of only one loss at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in eight prior matches for Verona (W3, D4). A strong record against sides starting this round 13th or worse (W3, D2, L1) raises their chances of getting back to winning ways here against Udinese, in what is a crucial clash against a fellow relegation rival. [/p]
[p]Visiting Udinese start this round level on points with their opponents (28) after their last match against Roma was suspended due to Evan Ndicka’s chest pains when the match stood at 1-1. Gabriele Cioffi’s side remain winless in three matches as a result, (D1, L2) and despite that promising start in their match against Roma, they need to pick up more points in double-quick time to escape the relegation zone. [/p]
[p]Drawing 16 of their 31 matches this term, including the reverse fixture (3-3), Udinese’s main problem this season has come in the form of not turning their stalemates into much-needed victories. On the road that trend has started to change of late at least, as their latest away result, a 1-1 draw against Sassuolo, came as their first draw in five such matches (W2, L2), though as they’ve failed to score in three of their last four visits here, Udinese would perhaps be happy with a point again on this occasion.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: After scoring and assisting last time out, Tijjani Noslin now has three goals across Verona’s last eight matches, with all three arriving after the break. Udinese’s Roberto Pereyra ended his goal drought in 2024 against Roma, whilst four of his last six goals have arrived before half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Udinese have conceded 30 of their 47 league goals in the last 15 minutes of both halves. [/p]
