Hellas Verona vs Udinese Serie A Match Preview or Key Statistics 🔦
Verona haven't scored a single goal in their last five Serie A games against Udinese: the last side that failed to score in six consecutive top-flight matches against a specific opponent was Udinese against Lazio between 2015 and 2018.
Verona's last goal against Udinese in Serie A was scored by Giampaolo Pazzini in October 2015, whilst their last victory against them in the Italian top-flight came back in December 2014 (a 2-1 win).
Verona are winless on home soil against Udinese in the Italian top-flight since April 2002 (1-0). Considering a 3-0 result was awarded against Roma,
Verona kept a clean sheet against them on MD1; only once previously have they started a Serie A campaign with consecutive shut outs: in 1991 /92 season (against Roma and Sampdoria). Last season, Udinese won their opening league game against Milan: only once previously have they won their first Serie A game of a season in consecutive campaigns (in 2014-15 & 2015-16).
Udinese have won their last two league games on the road, without conceding a single goal; the last time they managed to win three away games in a row in Serie A without conceding was back in March 2011.
In the 2019/20 campaign, Udinese became the first side to not win a single penalty in a Serie A season (since Opta started collecting such data in 2005/06) -they were also the only side across the Top five European Leagues that weren't awarded a single penalty last season.
Udinese kept the joint-most clean sheets in Serie A last season (14, alongside Inter). Verona's Marco Davide Faraoni played two Serie A seasons with Udinese (16 games); against the Friulani he scored the decisive goal in a 2-1 win at the Dacia Arena, in April 2018, with Crotone. Udinese striker Kevin Lasagna has both scored and provided an assist only once in a single match in his Serie A career: in December 2017, against Verona in a 4-0 win.
