Venezia vs Udinese team news and expert analysis
The team from the iconic tourist city on the water has confirmed its status as a yo-yo club. First, they immediately returned from Serie B after the 2025/2026 season. But at the higher level, they began with a string of defeats (although they did get past Modena in the cup over the summer), and Stroppa was eventually sacked in October... Only to then beat Napoli! After that, however, they returned to losing ways, falling to both Genoa and Inter, as well as Como.
The club from Friuli finished last season in 10th place with 50 points. But they have made a disastrous start this time around, losing the vast majority of their matches. Their only bright spot has been the cup, where they remain in contention — after eliminating Padova, they then knocked out their current opponents. They drew 0-0 with Parma but suffered a 2-5 defeat against Roma.
The newcomers are currently scoring just 0.6 goals per match while conceding several times more — two per game. Runjaic's side are struggling too, averaging 1.1 goals scored and 2.3 conceded per match.
