Udinese vs Venezia Preview

Udinese host Venezia at the Stadio Friuli on Wednesday evening in a Coppa Italia tie between two sides on very different trajectories in the early weeks of the season.

Udinese’s form has been excellent through the summer. Their most recent outing brought a 3-2 win away at Monza in the league. Prior to that, a 1-1 draw at home to Como was a quieter result. Before that, a 1-0 home win over Padova in the cup continued the good form. Earlier in this run, a 1-0 home win over Barcelona and a 1-0 home win over Nottingham complete a five-match sequence of four wins and a single draw, with no defeats in that span.

Venezia’s form has been much more difficult. Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 home defeat to AC Milan in the league. Prior to that, a 0-2 home defeat to Lecce was another blow. Before that, a 3-2 home win over Modena in the cup was a rare bright spot. Earlier in this run, a 2-2 draw away at Brest preceded a 4-3 defeat away at St Etienne, completing a five-game spell of one win, one draw and three losses.

The head-to-head record favours Udinese, who have won three of the last five meetings, with no draws and two wins for Venezia. Most recently, Udinese won 3-2 at home. In the previous encounter, Venezia won 3-2 at home.
