With the edgy opening game done it’s time for the second Serie A meeting of the season. Udinese look forward to welcoming Venezia in front of their home following.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Udinese form and stats

Last season, Udinese's league statistics were 10 wins, 10 draws and 18 losses, ending with 14th spot in the Serie A. Over these 38 matches they scored 42 goals and let in 58. Playing as the home side in the previous season Udinese produced 5-4-10 (win-draw-lost) with 14 goals and 19 conceded. The first Serie A game here at Dacia Arena resulted in a draw. Last season Udinese's home game statistics were 5 victories, 4 draws and 10 defeats from 19 games.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Udinese, who played 2-2 against Juventus. That match was also played at this venue (Dacia Arena). The attacker Roberto Pereyra was "man of the match" for Udinese with a rating of 7.62/10. Pereyra scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 30 successful passes (of 35 total). There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Juventus as Gerard Deulofeu's goal in the 83rd minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. Gerard Deulofeu was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Juventus after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Ahead of that match, Udinese won a home game hosting Ascoli (3-1).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Udinese's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won zero matches, drawn one and lost two.

Udinese has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Venezia form and stats

Let's have a look at how Venezia performed last season in the Serie B: They landed a 5th position in the league table after playing out 15 victories, 14 draws and 9 defeats. In total they scored 53 and conceded 39 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 11 and lost 3 with 25/20 goals scored/conceded. The visitors' first away game in the Serie A ended in defeat. Last season Venezia had these away match statistics: Played 19; won 5, drew 11 and lost 3.

Two away games in a row for Venezia, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Napoli in the Serie A. Midfielder Daan Heymans was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.35. Heymans dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 22 total).

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Frosinone (after extra-time, 6-7 on penalties) in the Coppa Italia.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Venezia when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing three and winning one game.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Venezia has managed 0 goals and let in 2 from 1 match.
