Udinese vs Spezia Predictions, Tips & Predictions

Udinese v Spezia
Italy – Serie A
Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2024
Starts at 17pm UK / 00pm CET
Venue: Dacia Arena.

The Little Eagles moved from Serie B to Division One at the end of last season. Interestingly, this is the club's first time participating in Serie A. Suffice it to say, they are easily the least experienced team in the entire competition.

Unsurprisingly, they lost their first game, and that too by a huge margin. Looking ahead, it's a fact that most other teams in the competition will see them as an opportunity to secure three easy points.

And the Friulanos will be one of the main teams to attack the minnows. The reason is that Luca Gotti's men narrowly escaped relegation in 2019-20, and to avoid such a tense end to their campaign this time around, they need all the points they can get.

Still, they are well versed in the challenges of Serie A, also regularly facing some of the best teams in Italy and Europe. A showdown with Vincenzo Italiano's men shouldn't be too much of a problem for them.

Expect Udinese's victory this Wednesday.

Udinese vs Spezia: head-to-head (h2h)

• Only once have these two teams met in the last decade. Then the Little Eagles took a 2-3 road victory. The game was at Coppa Italia 2016.

Udinese vs Spezia: Prediction

The Italians were defeated at home by 1-4 in the last round against Sassuolo. Meanwhile, the Friulians lost 1-0 away to Verona.

As it stands, Gotti's men have the upper hand. Inexperience aside, his peers are also going through a series of difficult games. They have been winless in six of their previous ten meetings and, on the road, have recorded a total of just eight wins in the last 15 months.

On the other hand, the Friulians had won three of their five previous competitive games and kept a clean sheet in two of their four previous games.

Moving forward, Gotti's men are also confident of performing well against some of Serie A's best teams at the end of last season, and under pressure too. In fact, they had beaten the likes of Juventus, Roma, etc., and secured a draw against Lazio.

Udinese are probably expected to have a great game against Spezia this Wednesday.
