Match Preview

The home team’s form has started to pick up in recent weeks, while the away side have managed to take points in two of their last outings. The bookmakers’ odds suggest the Zebrette should win this, though it won’t be easy.

Massimo Oddo’s men are on a three-game winning streak heading into this weeks’ free Udinese vs Hellas Verona betting tips. Udinese kicked off their positive run with a remarkable 8-3 hammering of Perugia in the Coppa Italia. That result seems to have given their players new found belief and they followed it up with back-to-back Serie A wins and clean sheets against Crotone and Benevento. The Zebrette have been very hit and miss when playing at the Dacia Arena, they have won four and lost five of their nine fixtures there so far.

Hellas Verona are one of three new teams in Serie A this season having been promoted from Serie B last year. Just like the teams promoted alongside them, SPAL and Benevento, life at the top has thus far been a struggle for the Mastiffs. They have collected just ten points from a possible forty-eight available and with a return like that, it’s easy to see why they sit second from bottom. Coach Fabio Pecchia will draw some solace from the fact that his team have taken six points on the road compared to just four at home, though one win from eight away matches is still a very poor set of results.

Udinese vs Hellas Verona Prediction and Betting Advice

One win from eight away matches is a difficult statistic to ignore and one that had a large bearing on today’s Udinese vs Hellas Verona bets. The Mastiffs are understandably finding it difficult competing at Italy’s highest level of club football and a trip to the Dacia Arena will be another daunting task.

The Zebrette have now won five of their last seven games in all competitions, making them one of the most in-form clubs in Serie A at present. They have been particularly goal hungry on their own patch, scoring the same number of league goals as Roma and just three short of a prolific Napoli team.

Verona have only beaten their hosts once in their last five clashes with them and that win came all the way back in 2014. The home team can jump as many as three places up the table with a win and with that as an added incentive, they should be able to see off one of the league’s bottom dwellers. If you are looking for most valuable Serie A football odds for our first pick, look no further than Bet-at-home, whose prices and offers are second to none.

Although the away team featured in our free OddsDigger Udinese vs Hellas Verona predictions have been underwhelming this season in a general sense, they have been finding a way to get their name on the score sheet quite regularly. The Mastiffs have scored at least once in five of their most recent six contests.

The home team’s defence is far from unbreachable – they have conceded fourteen times at the Dacia Arena in nine games there since August. In attacking areas, they are much more impressive, however, netting in twenty-one of their last twenty-three matches at their own stadium.

The Zebrette have scored in all but two of their seventeen competitive fixtures in 2017/18 – rarely does a game pass without Udinese goal. In four of these side’s last six encounters, both teams got on the scoresheet. Interestingly, there has never been a 0-0 draw in this history of this fixture.
