Venezia vs Udinese: Current situation
After two seasons in Serie B, Venezia is back among the top teams in Italy. That was certainly the goal of the organization, but after only a couple of months into the 2024-25 season, they are already in a mess. Eusebio Di Francesco has led the team to only one win in nine games so far, and the “Winged Lions” will have to pick up their form in order to get out of the relegation zone. Last weekend, they managed to bring a point from their visit to Monza, which is definitely a good sign, but the team will need to show some consistency.
Udinese was one of the best teams early in the season, winning three of the first four games on the schedule. It was clear that the team from Udine would not be able to keep up that form and stay on top of the standings, but they are still in a solid situation at 7th place in the standings. Udinese is ranked third in the league when it comes to home games, and playing well on the road is something they need to work on. Visiting one of the worst teams in the league seems like a real chance to win on the road, and it is on Kosta Runjaic’s players to prove they are ready to attack the top four teams in the league.
Venezia Stats & Form
As expected, Venezia is near the bottom of the standings and it will be a long season in the battle to avoid relegation. Having only one win in nine games in unacceptable and Eusebio Di Francesco hopes that the team can get into the right direction after winning a point last weekend. The 2-2 draw in Monza ended Venezia’s three-game losing streak and now they are in 19th place with 5 points. They are second to last in the league scoring only 0.8 goals per game and 17th in completed passes per game.
Udinese Stats & Form
Udinese is one of the most pleasant surprises this season in Serie A as they are hanging on with the best teams in the league. Udinese has 3 wins and 2 losses in the last five games and both of those losses came after solid performances against the teams from Milano. Udinese lacks no confidence under new head coach Kosta Runjaic and showed that in the last 2-0 win over Cagliari. “The Friulians” 11th in the league scoring 1.3 goals per game and are ranked second with 9.4 interceptions per game.
Venezia – Udinese: Head to Head
Udinese has won 5, Venezia 3 and two of the last ten games between them ended in a tie. The last time they played was in the 2021-22 season, when Udinese won both games, 3-0 at home and 2-1 on the road. The last time Venezia won was in a friendly game in 2020 and the last win in an official game was in 2001. Three of the last five games between these two teams ended under 2.5 goals in total.
Venezia – Udinese Odds
Despite the big gap in the standings, both teams are given similar odds for a win. Venezia is at 2.70, Udinese at 2.63 and the draw is at 3.28. The total goals margin is set at 2.5 with 2.14 for over and 1.70 for under.

Betting tip and prediction: Venezia - Udinese (30.10.2024)
Both teams are coming into this game after solid performances for the weekend, and we can expect aggressive approaches from both sides. Venezia has a tough time adapting to the top level that Serie A demands, and they need to add some points by their name before it is too late. Scoring two goals in the previous game is something that head coach Eusebio Di Francesco can be happy with, and another thing that goes in his favor is the fact that only Martin Sverko is unavailable for this game. Udinese’s coach, Kosta Runjaic, is one of the candidates for coach of the year, as he does a great job in his first season coaching on this level. He has managed to get the best out of his team and will need to do the same on Wednesday as striker Florian Thauvin, midfielders Martin Payero and Arthur Atta, and defender Thomas Kristensen are all out with injuries. That is the main reason why Udinese is not a significant favorite in this game, but it is a fact that they are still the better team. However, this game means much more to Venezia, who needs to go all-in and try to beat somebody. Neither team will play patiently in this one, so we expect goals on both sides.
