Udinese v Hellas Verona Betting Tips [30 January 2023]

Verona’s push for survival in the Italian Serie A will pit them, in an away match, against Udinese when the two sides face off in their coming league game. The hosts, Udinese, will go into this game with 28 points, in seventh place while Verona remain in the drop zone, with 12 points, in 18th place. For a while Udinese looked like they would contest for a place in Europe but a consistent run of winless matches has left them nine points out of the top six. A run of just one win in 12 matches in all competitions makes it harder to think they can cover the distance. They are from a 1-0 win over Sampdoria, and will hope to build from it. They have lost three times in the last five matches while at home, they have no clean sheet in the last five league matches, with both teams scoring in the five matches. Four of their five goals in their last five Serie A matches have come in the second half, all within the final 20 minutes.

Verona have posted two wins in their last three matches and that is a marked improvement, looking at their performances this season. They have three wins in the entire 19 matches in the league this season. Across all competitions, they have lost 11 times in the last 14 matches. Verona are coming from a 2-0 win over Lecce but their league form hasn’t been great in recent outings, as they’ve suffered seven defeats in the last 10 matches. They have two clean sheets in 26 matches, while they’ve conceded at least two goals in six of their last 10 away matches in the league. They have no wins in the last 10 away matches in Serie A. Heading into this game, they are six points away from the team in 17th spot. In their last five league matches, Verona have scored six goals and five of them have come in the opening half.

Verona and Udinese aren’t doing greatly in the Italian Serie A and their biggest concern will have to be in their performances in defence. Their scoring patterns have some consistency, with Udinese scoring most in the second half while Verona have been scoring most of their goals in the second period. With this pattern, our prediction for the Udinese v Verona game will be for Verona to lead at half time.
