For the 20th matchday of the Italian Serie A, Udinese welcomes Verona to the Dacia Arena.
Finally a victory for Udinese, the previous matchday they won 1-0 against Sampdoria in Genoa. She was not better than her opponent, on the contrary, she accepted many phases, but either her goalkeeper, who was on a good day, or the failure of the home team saved her many times, and she herself scored in the 88th minute after a static phase and "stealed" the three points .
This was Udinese's first win after 10 games (6 draws and 4 losses) though continues to be high in the standings and specifically in 7th place with 28 points and minus 9 from 6th place which definitely gives a European ticket.
Verona also comes from a win, last week they beat Lecce 2-0 at home. In the first half hour of the match, she was not good and received phases from her opponent, but then she picked up the pace and by scoring in the 40' and 54' took the lead, which she held relatively easily until the end of the match.
Thus, she certified her improvement at the resumption of the championship, having in 4 matches 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and kept her hopes of staying in the category. However, it remains in a difficult position, specifically in 18th place and in the relegation zone with 12 points, minus 6 from Spezia.
Udinese returned to winning ways after a while, but without impressing with their performance. In terms of points, it may be close to the European tickets, but realistically it is difficult as it is unlikely to be placed in the top six. Verona, on the other hand, reacts in the last matches and shows that it has the will to fight for survival. Motivation and competitive situation suggest that Verona can leave Udine undefeated.
Prediction: Udinese - Verona X2 with an odds of 1.96
