Serie A is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with Hellas Verona in a crucial encounter at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Saturday.
Hellas Verona vs Udinese Preview
Udinese are in 15th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side saw their game against AS Roma suspended last week and will be intent on embarking on a good run of results this weekend.
Hellas Verona, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table and have struggled this season. The hosts held Atalanta to an admirable 2-2 draw in their previous game and will look to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Hellas Verona vs Udinese Prediction
Udinese have failed to meet expectations this season and will need to work hard to move away from the relegation zone. The likes of Roberto Pereyra and Florian Thauvin can be effective on their day and have a point to prove this weekend.
Hellas Verona can pack a punch on their day and have improved in recent weeks. Udinese are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
