• Competition: Serie A
• Date: Saturday, 4th January 2025
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
• Venue: Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona)

The 2024/25 season will be the third in a row in which Verona will probably fight until the final rounds to avoid relegation. In the first 18 rounds, they collected 18 points and are currently four points above the relegation zone. Paolo Zanetti's team fell to the drop zone a few weeks ago, but after two wins in the last three matches, they moved to safety again. In the last game of 2024, Verona won 3-2 on the road against Bologna. The home side finished the match with 67% ball possession and 15 shots on the goal more than the guests, but the guests found a way to a valuable win. 

Last season, Udinese finished with only two points more than the relegation zone, but this year, they look more like a solid mid-table team. The team from Udine have collected 24 points so far, so the fans hope for a similar second part of the season. Udinese haven't impressed lately, with only one win in the last four matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home against Torino. 

Verona vs Udinese pick: Over 2.5 goals

Both teams have had high-scoring games lately. There were three or more goals in three of the last four Verona matches. On the other hand, Udinese had four games with three or more goals in the previous five.
