Verona will face Udinese in the Serie A at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Monday, as the home side are desperate for points to escape the relegation zone.
Verona head into this match at the bottom of the table after going six Serie A games without a win, including a 0-0 draw with Cremonese on Monday.
They have won only two of their 21 league matches this season, although they are still just three points from safety. Home form is a big worry, with five losses in their last six games at the Bentegodi.
On the other hand, Udinese’s season has also lacked direction, shown by taking just one point from recent home games against Pisa and Inter. Even though they start this round in the top half, victories have been hard to find.
A 2-1 away win over Torino last time out did offer a boost, ending a run of three straight away defeats. Their decent record this season against teams in the bottom three should give them some confidence ahead of this game.

Verona vs Udinese prediction: A draw is expected
Key statistics
- A full-time draw has been played in three of their last five meetings.
- Under 2.5 goals have been scored in four of their last five encounters.
- Four of their last five clashes have ended in a first-half draw.
Correct score prediction: Verona 1-1 Udinese
We expect this clash to be a tight game between the two sides that have struggled for consistent victories recently. We predict a 1-1 draw based on their history of sharing the spoils and the high stakes involved for the home team.
The Mastiffs have a decent recent record of avoiding defeat against this particular opponent, but their overall lack of goals this season makes it difficult to back them for a straight win.
Meanwhile, Udinese have shown they can be compact on the road, and given that four of the last six meetings between these teams have ended in draws, we believe a point each is the most likely outcome at the Bentegodi.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Udinese slight favourites
- Home: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- Draw: 7/4 (2.75) – 28.6%
- Away: 17/10 (2.70) – 37.0%

Most recent head-to-head: Balance record

Verona preview: Mounting fitness setbacks
Verona have a long list of fitness problems ahead of Monday’s clash. Tomas Suslov, Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro and Armel Bella-Kotchap are all unavailable through injury, while Martin Frese and Nicolas Valentini are doubtful with muscle issues.
Rafik Belghali (ankle) and Moatasem Al-Musrati (leg) are also at risk of missing out. There is a boost with Unai Nunez returning from suspension, but top scorer Gift Orban will lack support in attack, as Giovane is set to complete a move to Napoli.
Predicted lineup: Montipo (GK), Nunez, Nelsson, Ebosse, Lirola, Serdar, Gagliardini, Bernede, Bradaric, Sarr & Orban
Last five fixtures
- 18.01.26 – Feyenoord 3–4 Sparta Rotterdam
- 11.01.26 – Heerenveen 2–2 Feyenoord
- 21.12.25 – Feyenoord 1–1 Twente
- 17.12.25 – Feyenoord 2–3 Heerenveen (KNV)
- 14.12.25 – Ajax 2–0 Feyenoord
Udinese preview: Minor disruptions in the team
Udinese are expected to name a largely settled side, with leading scorer Keinan Davis set to spearhead the attack after already doubling his Serie A goal return this season.
However, Nicolo Zaniolo remains unavailable, while Polish duo Adam Buksa and Jakub Piotrowski are also sidelined. Piotrowski’s knee injury, picked up against Inter, could hand Scottish midfielder Lennon Miller an opportunity to start in a three-man midfield.
Predicted lineup: Okoye (GK), Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet, Zanoli, Miller, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Kamara, Atta & Davis
Last five fixtures
- 17.01.26 – Udinese 0–1 Inter
- 10.01.26 – Udinese 2–2 Pisa
- 07.01.26 – Torino 1–2 Udinese
- 03.01.26 – Como 1–0 Udinese
- 27.12.25 – Udinese 1–1 Lazio
Player to watch: Gift Orban
Gift Orban has been Verona’s star player this season despite their poor form in the Serie A. The Nigerian international remains the main reference point up front and has been ruthless whenever chances fall his way inside the area.
Orban has scored six goals and provided one assist in the league, which underlines his dependability in front of goal. He is currently the club's highest goal scorer and will be looking to get his name on the score sheet in this game.
