Venezia - Udinese

Friday evening at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo, Venezia host Udinese for matchday 11 of the Serie A season. Both sides enter this encounter looking to regain momentum after recent struggles in the top flight. Venezia, currently navigating a difficult period, will be without the injured Thierry Correia as they look to build on their earlier home victory against SSC Napoli. The expected XI, featuring Akor Adams and Lion Lauberbach in attack, aims to provide the necessary spark to overcome a visiting side that has also found consistency hard to come by in recent weeks.

Udinese arrive following a challenging run of results, including a heavy defeat against Roma. With Maduka Okoye in goal and Nicolo Zaniolo expected to anchor the midfield, the visitors will look to replicate their success from the Coppa Italia meeting on 2 September 2026, where they secured a 2-1 win. As both teams search for a vital three points, the tactical battle in midfield will likely prove decisive in determining the outcome of this fixture.
