Betting on Udinese
After recording their best start to a Serie A season, Udinese have been in free fall for weeks now and their hopes of a European place are practically nil. The Bianconeri have just one win in the last 15 games played and have already dropped to tenth place in the standings with 30 points, 11 points behind Atalanta in the Conference League qualification place.
In total, Udinese has recorded nine draws this campaign, being this the second-highest number in Serie A and the main reason why they have slipped away from the top spots in the championship. At home, they have gone two games without a win and despite conceding only 12 goals in 11 matches in front of their fans. It is important to mention that the large number of draws has them with only 15 points as locals.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Marco Silvestri; Rodrigo Becão, Jaka Bijol, Nehuén Pérez; Kingsley Ehizibue, Lazar Samardžić, Walace, Sandi Lovric, Iyenoma Udogie; Florian Thauvin, Beto.
Betting on Spezia
Spezia is not living a very pleasant moment in Serie A and could end this matchday in the relegation places to Serie B. After 23 games, the Eaglets have just 19 points and are only two points ahead of Verona in the red places in the standings.
Unable to win in the last five games and only four wins so far this season, Spezia is one of the worst teams in the league and has the third-highest number of goals conceded with 39. On the road, things don’t change much and with only seven points from 11 games, they are the third-worst team in Serie A away from home. Along with Verona, they are the club with the fewest goals scored in this capacity with six goals and have allowed a total of 20.
Probable lineup (3-5-2): Bartlomiej Dragowski; Ethan Ampadu, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Kelvin Amian; Emmanuel Gyasi, Mehdi Bourabia, Albin Ekdal, Kevin Agudelo, Arkadiusz Reca; Eldor Shomurodov, Daniele Verde.
JefeBet Prediction
Udinese have everything in their hands to get out of their current slump and get three points again in front of their fans. The draws have overwhelmed the locals in recent weeks, but facing one of the worst teams in the league is a golden opportunity to avoid falling further down the standings.
In their last five games, Spezia have only recorded one point with two goals scored and 11 conceded, and this situation looks difficult to change due to the poor defense they have shown throughout the season.
Prediction: Udinese to win (UDI 2 – SPE 0).
