CHIEVO v UDINESE PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

This is a match that brings together a home side in the bottom half of the table and opponents that are also below halfway. Chievo are five places and four points below their opponents at the weekend. There are six sides in Serie A that are covered by just four points and that includes the sides in this fixture. Both sides have won two of their last five matches but Udinese have lost one fewer. Matches involving these sides this season have produced an average of just below three goals per game and that average is similar when only respective home and away matches are considered.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Chievo prepare for this fixture on the back of a 5-1 defeat away to AC Milan last weekend. They were second best in all key departments and a share of the ball of less than 37% was a reflection of the respective standards of the two sides in this match. As the home side Chievo should enjoy more of the ball and they will be looking to improve on a 50% win record at home this season. Udinese had 58% of the ball when drawing away to Bologna last week so they were inefficient in creating chances from a decent share of possession. Italian international Antonio De Natale scored against Bologna and he has contributed seven of 14 goals Udinese have scored in the league this season.

CHIEVO - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Chievo have lost twice at home this season and Udinese are playing well enough to at least avoid defeat. The key to this game is how Chievo react to a poor performance against Milan, a game in which they conceded five goals. However, Udinese have failed to win five of six matches played on the road this season so a draw looks the most likely outcome of this match. The away side have shown themselves to be effective on the road in the Europa League this season with the win at Liverpool the standout performance. A repeat of that level of form can see them share the points against Chievo.

The draw is 3.2 with Pinnacle Sports.

CHIEVO - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The most likely outcome of this match is a draw so Udinese can be backed with a minimum start in the Asian Handicap markets. Udinese’s overall away form is not good enough to confidently predict a win at Chievo. Conversely, Chievo are not going to approach this match with great confidence and creating a winning situation looks beyond them. The evidence, therefore, points to a drawn match which means Udinese would win on the handicap with a start of one quarter of a goal.

CHIEVO - UDINESE PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Chievo have scored eight goals in six home matches played this season to date so they are not prolific on their own pitch. They have conceded one less goal which means their home matches have produced on average exactly 2.5 goals per game. Udinese have also scored six in eight in away matches and also conceded one more than they have scored. These facts suggest these sides have been involved in tight matches and in this instance a low scoring draw is anticipated with a tally of less than three goals.
