Udinese vs Venezia Prediction 2 September 2026
📢 Can Venezia brighten up a difficult start to the season with a win in the Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia? The Serie B champions have struggled to match the level of the top flight, picking up no points from their opening two league matches and losing both without scoring. In the upcoming fixture, they will have to travel to the Bluenergy Stadium, where a solid Udinese side awaits them. The hosts have no intention of going out of the competition this early either, so the match looks set to be a tough one for both sides.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 20 years, the two sides have met just four times in official matches. Udinese have the better record: three wins to Venezia's one, with no draws. Their most recent meetings came in the 2024/25 season, before Venezia were relegated from Serie A. Both sides won their home fixture by the same scoreline of 3-2.
Head-to-head statistics Udinese - Venezia
Udinese Calcio Team Overview
⚫ Udinese had a very solid last season and clearly have no intention of dropping their level in the new one. Their early results back that up - two wins and one draw from three official matches. In the previous round of the Coppa Italia they did have to grind it out against Padova, winning only 1-0, but in the league they have taken four points from six.
⚪ It started with a home draw against Como (1-1), then in the second round Udinese went away to Monza and won 3-2. Statistically the match was fairly even, though the hosts' attacks looked sharper. Even so, the little Zebras showed excellent finishing and scored all three of their goals before half-time. After conceding the second goal on 63 minutes, the team focused almost entirely on defending and held on for the result.
Match Results: Udinese Calcio
Venezia Team Overview
🟢 Unlike Udinese, Venezia have had a difficult start to the new season - one win and two defeats from three official matches. And that sole victory came in the Coppa Italia, where they had to work hard against lower-ranked Modena: Venezia came from behind twice during the match, and on the second occasion were still losing as late as the 83rd minute. In the league things are worse still - two defeats from two rounds and a provisional 19th place.
🟠 That said, it should be acknowledged that Venezia could have taken at least something from those games. In the first round they lost 0-2 at home to Lecce despite a clear advantage in play, and a week later they were beaten 0-2 away at the stronger Milan - an expected result, though Giovanni Stroppa's side held it to 0-0 until the 69th minute before running out of steam.

⚽️ Goals Prediction
Venezia have been very disappointing in attack so far. Yes, in the home match against Lecce they created a fair number of chances but couldn't convert any of them, and away at Milan things were even worse - Giovanni Sroppa's side offered virtually nothing going forward. Udinese are not Milan, of course, but even stronger opponents find it tough at the Bluenergy Stadium. That makes Venezia to Score: No at 2.65* an interesting option.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Udinese are not particularly keen on set pieces. Across three official matches they have won just four corners in total, and in the previous round of the Coppa Italia against the weaker Padova they did not earn a single corner. With that in mind, Udinese Team Total Corners - Under 5.5 at 1.69* is worth considering.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The last two meetings between these sides were very feisty. In Venice the referee showed seven yellow cards and one red, while in Udine the two teams picked up six bookings between them. Given those numbers, Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 seems the logical selection here.
* Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Udinese are clear favourites for this match, which makes sense given Venezia's poor start. That said, the visitors are unlikely to go out of the Coppa Italia without a fight and will almost certainly look to sit deep and defend. Given that Udinese regularly struggled when required to take the initiative last season, our main bet is Total Goals - Under 2.5. Expected score: 1-0.
