Preview: Udinese vs. Hellas Verona – prediction, team news, lineups, Leading the battle for’ swish of the rest’ in Series A at its halfway stage, Udinese end to stay within striking distance of the top six on Monday, when they host expatriation- floated Hellas Verona.

The Friulani will be targeting just a alternate double over Hellas in Italy’s top flight, but the guests arrive at the Dacia Arena having won two of their last three games to revive expedients of survival.

After taking just three points from their former six matches, played either side of the time-out break, Udinese ultimately ended their winning failure last time out, as they edged formerly floundering Sampdoria with a late strike from Kingsley Ehizibue.

As a result, Andrea Stilt’s side posted 28 points from their first 19 institutions of the 2022- 23 campaign- their first under the former Ascoli coach which equals the club’s swish tale at the season’s midpoint across the formerly decade.

Having also beaten Sump in Genoa after a 10- time detention, the Friulani are after successive league triumphs for the first time since October, when they posted six in a row amid a spectacular charge into Series A’s top four- apropos, the last of those triumphs came against Verona.

Now retreated from the European contenders due to their mid- term downturn, Udinese were one of several armies to benefit from the downfall of extremity club Juventus, so moved into seventh place after their win at Marissa and are among the favas to finish’ swish of the rest’ behind the division’s top six.

Snottily has been dealt a serious blow by this week’s news that star man Gerard Deulofeu must suffer knee surgery, so will hope others analogous as Lazar Samardzic can step into the breach when the Bianconeri attack their bottommost guests to the Dacia Arena on Monday evening.

After a 2- 1 success at Studio Bentegodi in October when Jaka Bijol bagged a conclusion- time winner- Udinese could now win both Series A institutions against Verona for just the alternate time, but recent events may make that task tougher than it would have been just a numerous weeks agene.

apparently doomed to the drop under former coach Gabriele pall- who was in charge at Udinese last time- Hellas have now won two of their last three games since Marco Zaffaroni stepped into the hot seat; taking over from interim appointment Salvatore Brochette, who is now one of Zaffaroni’s assistants.

Last week’s 2- 0 defeat of Lecce when in- form midfielder Darko Lazovic was on target again- meant the Scaliger had won as multitudinous league matches in the space of a fortnight as in their former 21 attempts.

They could now achieve successive Series A wins for the first time in a time, and with his team still sitting five points adrift of safety with half the season played Zaffaroni would dearly love to do so on Monday.

Verona have packed the most pretensions from open play in Series A this season- some 90( 28 out of 31)- so the former Monza master has prioritized tightening goods up at the reverse a tale of only two pretensions conceded since the World Cup attests to that.

With both Rome clubs to come in their coming three institutions, the Gialloblu will want to continue their supplement against a side that has won just one of their last 11 in the top flight, while claiming a first down win in the process.

In addition to the longer- term layoff of top creator Gerard Deulofeu, who will be out of action for several weeks, Udinese could be without Roberto Pereira on Monday, due to a minor injury.

Should Pereira fail to recover in time, last week’s match winner Kingsley Ehizibue would continue on the hosts’ right hand, while Isaac Success and Beto are set to join forces up front in Deulofeu’s absence; while the ultimate leads the scoring maps with seven, Success still awaits his first Series A strike of the season.

Another misfiring striker, Thomas Henry, suffered an ACL injury last time out, so Verona have moved to acquire Andrej Dude from FC Koln and CSKA Moscow’s Adolfo Gaich to bolster their attack both should arrive on loan but neither will feature in Udine. The guests are set to lose midfield regular Ivan Iliac, still, and a transfer to Torino would see him reunite with former Gialloblu master Ivan Juris.

Ibrahim Suleiman should replace Iliac in midfield, while Giangiacomo Manganic is most likely to deputies for the suspended Powel Dawidowicz in central defense.

Arranger of Verona’s alternate thing last week, Darko Lazovic has now been directly involved in four from four Series A matches so far in 2023( three pretensions and one help)- only three players have managed more throughout the top flight.
