Udinese vs Spezia Prediction and Betting Tips | February 26th 2023

Udinese will entertain Spezia at the Stadio Friuli in Serie A action on Sunday.

Both teams have endured winless runs in their recent games, with the hosts failing to pick up a win in four games while Spezia have not picked up a win in five games.

The hosts suffered a 3-1 away defeat against Inter Milan in their previous outing, with Sandi Lovric scoring a consolation goal. His 43rd-minute strike canceled out Romelo Lukaku's goal but Inter scored twice in the second half via Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Lautaro Martínez.

Spezia have struggled in their recent league outings and fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Juventus last Sunday, failing to score for the fourth time in five games.

The Aquilotti have lost four of their last five league games and a win for them seems unlikely. Just six of their 19 goals in Serie A have come in their travels. Considering the poor form of the two teams, we expect a low-scoring draw to ensue.
