Just under a month ago, after the thunderous home loss to Empoli (fourth in a row), Paolo Zanetti’s future on the Verona bench seemed to hang by a thread. There were rumors of a possible exoneration, then the ownership, lacking alternatives, decided to retrace its steps, giving another chance to the former Venezia and Empoli coach. A more apt choice than ever, since since then the Scaligeri give the impression of having turned over a new leaf.
In the last three days of the championship came two away victories (both 3-2) against Parma and Bologna. At home, however, Verona narrowly surrendered to AC Milan, who went through at the “Bentegodi” thanks to a goal by Reijnders (0-1). Six points allowed the Gialloblù to move away from the relegation zone, climbing to 18 points, four more than third-last Cagliari. This despite having the worst defense in the tournament: no one, in fact, has conceded more goals than the Veneti (42). Zanetti’s team, in any case, continues to have no half measures: it is the only one that has not yet collected even a draw (6 wins and 12 defeats). In the 2025 opener, Verona will face Udinese, intent on ending the first half of the season on the left side of the standings. For now, that of the bianconeri is a championship to be framed: the Friulans are ninth, on 24 points, and seem destined for a quiet salvation, without any worries unlike last year. After beating Fiorentina at home (1-2) two days ago, they shared the stakes with Torino (2-2), squandering a double lead.
Verona-Udinese: latest lineup news
Zanetti has some doubts but it is very likely that the same eleven from Bologna will go on the field. Confirmation for the attacking pair formed by Sarr and Tengstedt: supporting them, from the three-quarter, it will be Suslov’s turn. Ballot in defense, where Dawidowicz contends for a starting jersey with Magnani: Coppola and Ghilardi will complete the department.
On the other side, HCL coach Runjaic must still do without Davis but the goal is to recover for Verona Zarraga, Payero and Giannetti, who are back available. In defense we will see giant Touré again; next to him Kristensen and Bijol. In attack Thauvin and Lucca, only bench for the returning Sanchez.

The Prediction
Udinese away from home have been unbeaten for almost two months, and their only wins since October have come on the road. The Friulians should manage to avoid defeat this time as well, but watch out for this Verona, which remains an indecipherable team, capable of anything. In all likelihood there will be no shortage of goals: we expect at least three in total. And watch out for what could be the Scaligeri’s first “X” sign in the league.

VERONA (3-4-1-2): Montipò; Dawidowicz, Coppola, Ghilardi; Tchatchoua, Serdar, Duda, Lazovic; Suslov; Sarr, Tengstedt.
UDINESE (3-5-2): Sava; Kristensen, Bijol, Touré; Ehizibue, Lovric, Karlstrom, Ekkelenkamp, Zemura; Thauvin, Lucca.
