Udinese
In the last round, Kosta Runjaic's side suffered a 1-2 defeat at home to Roma. As a result, Udinese extended their winless streak in the league to five matches (3 draws, 2 losses). Moreover, the club has conceded at least two goals for the 11th time since the start of the current Serie A season. In the standings, the team has slipped to 11th place with 26 points, ahead of Genoa only on goal difference.
Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, defenders Isak Toure, Lautaro Giannetti, and Kingsley Ehizibue are out due to injuries. Midfielder Jesper Karlstrom is suspended.

Venezia
Eusebio Di Francesco's side shared points with Verona in a 1-1 home draw in the last round. As a result, Venezia failed to win their fifth consecutive Serie A match (3 draws, 2 losses). However, the club has not conceded more than one goal in any of their last six league games.

Udinese vs. Venezia: Match Prediction
Compared to the start of the current Serie A season, Kosta Runjaic's side has looked less confident lately. Even in home matches, results have declined, directly linked to a downturn in attacking play. While in the first five home league games, Udinese scored eight goals, in the following six matches, they failed to score three times, netting just four goals in total.
Venezia also struggles in creating chances and lacks high productivity, especially in away games. In the last 18 away Serie A matches, the club has scored more than one goal only twice, failing to score at all in eight of those matches.
I do not expect a high-scoring game from Udinese and Venezia. Therefore, my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
