Udinese will look to regain form after some poor results recently, and hosting Chievo might just be the best opportunity to do so.
Udinese had a very solid season so far, sitting on the 8th place and holdig their home court with authority, as they always do (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). However, Udine lost some rhythm recently, gaining just 1 point in the last 3 matches, including the first loss at Friuli, 2-4 to Genoa. They did play better in the last round, 1-1 at Palermo, and with the International break giving them time to sort things out it is expected that Udinese will revert to their usual level today.
With just 8 points in 11 rounds, Chievo is currently in the relegation zone, 3 points from safety, and they really need to pick themselves up if they don`t want to play Serie B football next year. It`s still early in the season, but Chievo is playing poor football, despite their 2-1 win over relegation rivals Cesena in the last round. The visitors have been particularly poor on the road, losing 4 of the 5 matches they played away from home, scoring just 2 goals.

Look for Udinese to get its first win in 4 rounds today against Chievo. Despite their recent results, Udine is a very strong team and one of the biggest threats in Serie A on their home court, while Chievo seems relegation bound and is struggling big time on the round. I can`t seem to find any arguments supporting the visitors here, so I will go with confidence on the home win. Odds are great, so my tip is Udinese to win, staking 8 units on this one.
