Venezia vs Udinese Predictions, Picks & Odds – 06/11/2026
Venezia vs Udinese Preview
Venezia sit rock bottom of Serie A with just three points from their opening matches, and the situation at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo feels increasingly desperate. Davide Nicola's side have lost four of their last five league outings, and their attack remains the division's most toothless: six goals all season, with three consecutive blanks heading into this fixture. The 3-5-2 system has offered defensive structure at times, but creativity in the final third is sorely lacking.
Udinese arrive in Venice only marginally better off, sitting 19th with five points and a dreadful run of four defeats in five. The dismissal of Kosta Runjaic after a humiliating 5-2 loss to Roma has brought Paolo Zanetti back to face his former club in his first match as Udinese boss. His most urgent task is shoring up a defence that has shipped 23 goals in ten games, a rate that makes survival virtually impossible without immediate improvement.
Venezia's home advantage could prove decisive in this relegation six-pointer. The Lagunari have managed just one win in their last five outings, yet that solitary victory came at the Penzo, where they tend to be more competitive. Udinese arrive in dismal form themselves, winless in four consecutive matches, and the upheaval of a managerial change adds further instability. The double chance covering a home win or draw at 2.32 reflects the tight margins expected.
Paolo Zanetti's debut as Udinese boss against his former club introduces genuine tactical uncertainty. New managers sometimes spark an immediate reaction, but Zanetti has had minimal time on the training pitch. Udinese have conceded 23 goals in ten league matches, a defensive record that Venezia's toothless attack, six goals all season and three consecutive blanks, may struggle to exploit. Under 2.5 goals at 2.12 looks attractive given these offensive limitations.
Both teams scoring feels unlikely when Venezia have failed to find the net in three straight Serie A fixtures. Their attack is the division's worst, and even against Udinese's leaky rearguard, creating chances has been a persistent problem. Backing BTTS No at 2.20 aligns with the hosts' scoring drought and the general caution that relegation battles tend to produce. Odds correct at time of publication.

Medium confidence
A compact 3-5-2 vs 3-4-2-1 contest shapes up at Penzo, with both sides deploying three-man defensive blocks and looking to control the wide corridors. Venezia's wing-backs will be crucial in stretching Udinese's midfield diamond, while the visitors' double-ten structure gives Zaniolo licence to link play between the lines.
For Venezia, the Adams and Lauberbach partnership up front must convert the chances that Busio and Sohm are expected to create through the centre. Udinese, meanwhile, rely on Keinan Davis as the lone reference point, with Ekkelenkamp and Zaniolo tasked with feeding him in behind a high defensive line.
