Serie A
There is no dominant side in the H2H matches between Udinese and Verona in the last few years, as six of the previous 12 games finished in a draw. In that span, Verona were more successful with four wins, while Udinese recorded only two. Another interesting thing about H2H matches between these two teams is that ten of the last 13 games went under 2.5 goals.
Udinese team overview
Udinese are one of the most stable teams in Serie A. In the last 12 seasons, they were always in the lower half of the standings, but successfully avoided the relegation zone. Although Udinese had a great preseason, the 2025/26 season shouldn't be any different. The team from Stadio Friuli is in a great run of six wins in a row, including a 2-0 win at home in the cup against Carrarese in their previous outing. The home side finished the match with an xG of 2.07, while the guests had only 0.57, so any other outcome than Udinese victory would be unfair.
Udinese's transfer policy is simple. They focus on developing young players and selling. This summer, the team left Jaka Bijol and Lorenzo Lucca. On the other hand, Udinese added Lennon Miller (who came from Motherwell), Luca Kjerrumgaard (Odense), Saba Goglichidze (Empoli), and Nicolo Bertola (Spezia).
Alexis Sanchez and Maduka Okoye are unavailable and will not play on Monday, while Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and Martin Payero are questionable.

Verona team overview
Verona successfully escaped relegation in the previous years, which will be their primary goal in the upcoming season. Verona had four games this summer, but won two. In the last match, Paolo Zanetti's team won on the road after penalties in the cup against Audace Cerignola. It is worrying that Verona couldn't beat Serie C team in the regular 90 minutes.
Too many important players like Jackson Tchatchoua, Diego Coppola, Ondrej Duda, and Casper Tengstedt left the team this summer. On the other hand, Verona's most significant signings this summer are Victor Nelsson (who came from Galatasaray), Rafik Belghali (KV Mechelen), Unai Nunez (Celta Vigo), and Enzo Ebosse (Udinese).
Tomas Suslov and Nicolas Valentini are injured and will not play on Monday night in Udine.

Prediction
Both these teams could be a relegation dogfight this season, but Verona is certainly closer to Serie B than Udinese. The club from Stadio Friuli had a great previous few weeks with six wins in a row, while Verona won only one of four games this summer in the regular 90 minutes. Udinese haven't had too many successes against Verona in the last few years, but they should win on Monday night.
3 Reasons why Udinese should win against Verona
- Udinese have won the last six matches in a row
- Udinese conceded only two goals in the previous six games
- Verona won only one of the last four matches if we count only regular 90 minutes
