Venezia vs Udinese Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 6 November 2026
📢 Matchday 12 in Serie A opens with a fixture that, at another time, might have attracted little attention. But Venezia and Udinese are now the league’s bottom two, sitting 20th and 19th respectively. Their meeting at the Stadio Pierluigi Penzo will test both sides’ resolve, with a win worth far more than three points right now.

Udinese dominate the head-to-head record
📊 Venezia and Udinese have met five times in recent years, with the Friulians holding a commanding head-to-head advantage. Udinese have won four of those matches, while Venezia have come out on top just once. The sides have already met this season, too: in early September, Udinese hosted Venezia in the Coppa Italia round of 32 and came from a goal down to win 2-1 and advance to the next round.
Head-to-head statistics Venezia - Udinese

Venezia still cannot get going
Venezia remain stranded at the bottom of the Serie A table. Their 1-0 win over Napoli a few rounds ago is still the Lagunari’s only victory of the league campaign. They have not picked up a point since, and a change of head coach has yet to deliver the desired improvement. Worse still, they have lost their last three matches without scoring, highlighting problems at both ends of the pitch.
Venezia lost 1-0 away to Como last weekend, but the narrow scoreline flattered them. The Lagunari were second best throughout, created almost nothing in attack and repeatedly allowed the hosts to threaten their goal. With sharper finishing, Como could have won by a much wider margin.

Udinese have turned to a managerial change
Udinese’s crisis has deepened to the point that the club have finally changed head coach. They are already the fifth Serie A side to make such a move this season, and it is easy to see why: the Little Zebras sit second from bottom with five points and have gone eight matches without a win. The bigger question may be why Kosta Runjaic was not dismissed sooner. On 3 November, he was replaced by 43-year-old Italian coach Paolo Zanetti, who has signed a contract until 30 June 2027.
The final straw was a 5-2 home defeat to Roma. Udinese were so poor in the first half that they were 4-0 down by the 37th minute. They showed more life after the break and scored twice, though that owed much to Roma easing off. Zanetti now faces a difficult task: getting the team back on track as quickly as possible.

Latest news
Venezia
❌ Venezia have three confirmed absentees ahead of the match. Andrea Adorante, Bartol Franjić and Marin Šverko remain sidelined with injuries, while Thierry Correia is doubtful due to a muscle problem.
Udinese Calcio
❌ Udinese have two confirmed absentees. David Alaba and Idrissa Gueye remain sidelined through injury, while Vakoun Bayo, Oumar Solet and Alessandro Zanoli are doubtful.
Total Goals Prediction
Venezia’s attack seem to have gone on holiday without telling the fans. The Lagunari are struggling to convert their chances and have scored no more than once in each of their last six matches. Even against a struggling Udinese side, a sudden turnaround from the hosts looks unlikely, especially after three straight defeats without a goal. Our pick is Venezia under 1.5 team goals at odds of 1.87*.
Corners Prediction
Fans hoping for a flurry of corners may be disappointed by this match. Venezia average 4.0 corners per game, while Udinese are only slightly higher at 4.5. Both clubs rank in the lower reaches of Serie A for corners, so our pick is under 10.5 total corners at odds of 1.47*.
Yellow Cards Prediction
Udinese matches rarely turn into feisty affairs: no more than three yellow cards have been shown in 11 of their last 12 games. This clash between two struggling sides should be tense, but the numbers point to a relatively disciplined contest. Our pick is under 3.5 total yellow cards.
*Odds are indicative and may vary between bookmakers.
⭐ Editor’s prediction
Bookmakers have Venezia as favourites, but that call is open to debate. The hosts are in dreadful form: they are not just struggling to pick up points, they are finding it hard to break down opposition defences. Udinese are going through a tough spell too, but they have more quality in their squad, and the head coach’s dismissal could give them the lift they need. Our main pick is Udinese to avoid defeat. Score prediction: 1-1.
