What a clash to kick off matchday 11 in Italian football. The Stadio Perluigi Penzo will turn into a cauldron against the 'Bianconeri'—a side who have proved far more competitive away from home than on their own turf.

Udinese hold the worst home record in Serie A, yet have claimed four of their five points on the road. Paolo Zanetti's plan has found its comfort zone precisely whenever the atmosphere has turned against them.

Venezia present the flip side of the coin. Having succumbed to a 1-0 loss against Como, with a daunting trip to face Juventus at the Allianz Stadium next on the schedule, Davide Nicola's men recognise this as their best chance to climb off the bottom of the table.
