Hellas Verona vs Udinese prediction 20.04.2024

• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Saturday, 20th April 2024
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona)

On Sunday evening, two relegation candidates, Hellas Verona and Udinese, will face off against each other at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi in Verona.

Hellas Verona barely escaped relegation last year, securing survival after the additional game vs Spezia. This year, the Mastiffs are once again among the teams that could easily drop to Serie B. Currently, they are 16th, only one point away from the danger zone. Considering they will face really tough competition in the remainder of the season, we do not think their chances are too great, and a win over Udinese is a must. 

In the last decade, Udinese has been constantly between 12th and 16th place, repeatedly failing to break the 50-point mark. This year, even though they have an interesting squad, the situation is unchanged. Just like Verona, Bianconeri are just one point away from the danger zone, but with fewer games played because their last game vs Roma was interrupted when Roma's defender Ndicka collapsed in the middle of the game. 

Hellas Verona vs Udinese pick: Both teams to score

Hellas Verona have scored at least a goal in the last six matches while scoring against much better teams than Udine - Atalanta, Genoa, and AC Milan. So, we definitely anticipate at least a goal at home turf against struggling Udine, which haven't had a clean sheet in the last seven games. 

Udinese are in poor form, winning one point in the last three matches. Still, they have scored in two of those three matches, and we believe in their offense against the teams from the bottom part of the league's table. Against the bottom five teams, they played seven games and scored at least a goal on five occasions - 71%.

In the first h2h game, we saw an exciting 3:3 draw. Additionally, four of the last five h2h games finished with both teams scoring.
