The 2024-25 edition of Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with a struggling Venezia side in an important encounter at the Buenergy Stadium on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Udinese vs Venezia Preview
Venezia are currently in 19th place in the Serie A standings and have struggled to make their mark in the top flight this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against Hellas Verona last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 11th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The hosts slumped to a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of AS Roma in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
