Hellas Verona – Udinese: a tense night at the Bentegodi 
Still pointless since the calendar flipped to 2026, Hellas Verona host Udinese on Monday to close out matchday 22. Big night for two clubs headed in different directions, but both feeling the heat.
Verona crawling and watching their backs 
That 0-0 at Cremonese did nothing to calm nerves. Verona are still waiting for their first win of the year and are flirting with relegation. Fourteen points from 21 games is ugly: in the only other seasons they had that tally at this stage, they went down.
Since Christmas the returns have been pitiful: four defeats, two draws, and an attack that’s gone flat — no goals in four of those six matches. Talk of Giovane leaving only makes things worse; he’s one of the few who can spark something. The Bentegodi offers no sanctuary either. Three straight home defeats and only one league win in front of their fans this season — atmosphere won’t bail them out.
Udinese: dull, stubborn and hard to break down 
Udinese roll into Verona with a familiar profile: not flashy, but awkward to beat. They’ve taken just one point from their last two games, yet they haven’t looked ready to collapse.
Recent history against Hellas hasn’t helped them: no wins in the last six Serie A meetings, including a 1-1 draw in the reverse. Away at the Bentegodi they’ve often come unstuck, and Verona have kept several clean sheets in that run.
In a tense match like this the visitors will mostly try to stay compact and pounce on mistakes rather than force the issue.
Probable lineups
Hellas Verona : Montipò ; Nunez, Nelsson, Ebosse ; Lirola, Serdar, Gagliardini, Bernede, Bradaric ; Sarr, Orban
Udinese : Okoye ; Kristensen, Kabasele, Solet ; Zanoli, Miller, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Kamara ; Atta ; Davis
Football Prediction Hellas Verona vs Udinese
Under 2.5 goals
On paper this should be tight. Verona haven’t shown many attacking ideas and Udinese aren’t the type to throw caution to the wind.
Expect a low tempo, few clear chances, and both teams more worried about avoiding mistakes than winning aesthetic points. A close, possibly locked game looks most likely.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a read of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, that means you can lose. It will happen at some point.
- Best practice: stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And whatever you do, don’t chase your losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should be entertainment, not a job or a paycheck. If it’s taking over your day, getting you stressed or angry, take a break. If it’s serious, reach out to a specialist. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, you’re responsible. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your local laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.

Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Then a lineup changes, a player gets hurt, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
