Udinese vs Venezia — Tips & Analysis

Under 2.5: Udinese home games barely produce goals, and Venezia have not scored in the league since coming up. Udinese have scored four and let in four across their last seven home games. That is under a goal a game at each end. Only 3 of their last 13 games had 3 or more goals in them, and their games average just over 2 goals in total. They came through the last cup round by grinding out a 1-0 win over Padova, which is exactly how they like it. Venezia have not scored in either Serie A game since coming up, losing 0-2 at AC Milan and 0-2 at home to Lecce. On the road they are a tying team, with five ties in their last seven away games and about a goal a game at each end. Stroppa is expected to change his whole team for this one, and a brand new eleven rarely clicks right away. Udinese will rotate too, but they are expected to keep Okoye, Solet, Kabasele and Davis. Expect a slow, careful game that Udinese edge 1-0, and that keeps the goal count down. The warning is the head to head. The last four meetings averaged 4 goals and every one of them had 3 or more. Two heavily changed teams can also open up and trade chances late on. We still want the quiet game here.
