Hellas Verona are five points from Serie A relegation safety heading into round No 20. The Gialloblu are unbeaten in three of their last four games and hopes are growing that Hellas can rescue their season.
Udinese started the Serie A campaign in brilliant form rubbing elbows with the top teams in the division.
However, the Zebrette have slumped for most of the last few months and slid out of the top six. Thanks to their great start, Udinese are still near the European qualification places.
The Zebrette are coming off a 1-0 away win over relegation-threatened Sampdoria. The win ended a two-game Serie A losing streak for Udinese.
Udinese picked up a 2-1 win away versus Hellas thanks to goals from Josh Doig and Jaka Bijol on either side of a Hellas goal from Beto. Bijol’s winner was scored in the 92nd minute.
The last six games between these teams were divided into two wins, two draws, and two losses apiece. Twenty-three cards were handed out during those six games with seven goals scored.
Udinese only took five points from the last six games in Serie A. They scored six goals and conceded eight times.
The Zebrette are winless in five straight games at home but they are playing against a poor road team in Hellas Verona.
Hellas Verona picked up seven points from their last six games in Serie A. They scored six times and conceded five goals.
The Gialloblu are Serie A’s worst team in terms of playing away from home. They have not won a match away from home this season in the league.
Five of their last six road fixtures ended in defeat. Hellas have conceded 14 goals and scored five goals away from home this term.
Pawel Dawidowicz is suspended for Hellas and will miss the match. Forwards Thomas Henry is out with a knee injury, and Simone Verdi will miss the game with a muscle injury. Midfielders Mateusz Praszelik and Marco Davide Faraoni are both doubts due to injuries.
Udinese will be without Gerard Deulofeu after he suffered a knee injury against Sampdoria. Adam Masina will likely sit out the game following a knee injury.
Udinese posted a late 2-1 win against Hellas Verona earlier this season. The Zebrette could get a big win to improve their chances of making Europe. With Verona’s issues with scoring this season, Udinese should keep a second straight clean sheet, as they win 2-0.
