The fixture is expected to be a low-scoring affair, as indicated by a 44.0% probability of over 2.5 goals, suggesting a likely result under 2.5 goals.

Match Analysis

Udinese enters the match in promising form, having remained unbeaten in their last three games. They've managed a draw against Lazio and secured back-to-back wins against Parma and Lecce, showcasing their resilience with two clean sheets in these victories. Key to their performance is their solid defense, averaging just 0.8 goals conceded per game over their last five matches. Offensively, they have maintained a steady flow with an average of 1.6 goals scored, bolstered by an expected goals rate of 1.754, indicating they are creating quality chances. Verona, on the other hand, has faced a tougher run with only one win in their last three matches. They suffered defeats at the hands of Bologna and Juventus, with a solitary win against Fiorentina providing a glimmer of hope. Their attack has been lackluster, averaging a mere 0.4 goals per game, which has been a significant factor in their struggles this season. Moreover, their defense has been less than robust, conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game, which could pose challenges against Udinese's capable front line.

Final Prediction

Udinese's favorable prediction is supported by their recent form and strong defensive showings, which give them a distinct advantage against a struggling Verona side. A key factor to watch will be Udinese's ability to capitalize on their opportunities, as their higher expected goals rate suggests they can exploit Verona's defensive vulnerabilities. Fans should keep an eye on Udinese's ability to maintain their defensive solidity, which could make the difference in this encounter.
