The Italian Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Udinese and Hellas Verona square off at Dacia Arena on Sunday. Marco Baroni’s men head into the weekend without a win in their last 12 matches across all competitions and will look to end this dry spell.
Udinese failed to return to winning ways in the Serie A as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of AS Roma last Sunday. Prior to that, Gabriele Cioffi’s side picked up a 1-0 victory over AC Milan on November 4 to snap their 12-game winless run, two weeks before playing out a 1-1 draw against Atalanta.
While Udinese will look to find their feet, they return home, where they are without a win in their last seven matches across all competitions. Hellas Verona, on the other hand, failed to stop the rot as they could only salvage a 2-2 draw against Lecce last Monday.
Baroni’s side have now gone 12 successive games without a win across all competitions, losing nine and claiming three draws since August’s 2-0 victory over Roma. With nine points from 13 matches, Hellas Verona are currently 19th in the Serie A standings, two points and three places below Sunday’s visitors.

Udinese vs Hellas Verona Prediction
Udinese and Hellas Verona have struggled to get going this season and find themselves separated by just two points at the wrong end of the table. Udinese’s home advantage gives them a slight edge and we fancy them to scrap a narrow victory.
