Udinese vs Verona Prediction & Betting Tips (25 August)

The Udinese finds the way to the Serie A after having scraped the 12th rank last season, far ahead of the dunce of the maintenance race. This summer, an important departure to report with the loss of Thauvin, back in Ligue 1. In the local house, we want to maintain each other again and play a spoil role. A priori, no race for Europe unless a nice surprise. It can already be noted that Udine residents returned full iron in their season by winning against Carrarase SB last weekend as part of the 1st round of the Italian Cup 2-0.

 On the other side of the median, we find the Hellas Verone, also on the bridge last weekend in the Italian Cup and pushed back into its entrenchments by the modest Audace Cerignola team acquired at the TAB. Not really the first expected by Hellas players who will have to engage much more on Udine's field today to hope to take the point of the draw. The previous exercise ended in 14th place. 

Historically, this fixture has leaned toward low-scoring affairs, but current form suggests a more open contest. Udinese have scored at least twice in their last four matches, while Verona have shown flashes of attacking potency, particularly in the first half. The Zebrette’s set-piece threat—second only to Inter in goals from corners—could be decisive, especially with Lucca’s aerial prowess. Verona, meanwhile, must avoid conceding early; they’ve managed just two points from matches where they’ve gone behind at Bentegodi. Expect both teams to push for control early, with Udinese likely to dominate possession and Verona relying on counterattacks and transitional play.

Given the tactical setups and recent performances, a 2-1 win for Udinese feels like a calculated prediction. Lucca’s form, combined with Verona’s defensive vulnerabilities, tips the scale in favor of the hosts. While Verona may find the net through a moment of individual brilliance—perhaps from Lazovic or Bonazzoli—their inability to hold leads and Udinese’s late-game resilience suggest the Friulians will edge this one. It won’t be a walkover, but it will be a statement win for Runjaic’s side as they aim to start the season with momentum and purpose.
