Udinese will run out with visiting opponents Empoli at Bluenergy Stadium in the Serie A clash on Sunday. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Udinese prepare for this match after a 1-1 Serie A drawn game vs SSC Napoli. It’s our opinion that Bianconeri Friuliani look set to make use of the 4-3-2-1 formation for the game, utilising Razvan Sava, Thomas Kristensen, Jaka Bijol, Oumar Solet, Hassane Kamara, Sandi Lovric, Jesper Karlström, Martín Payero, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Florian Thauvin and Lorenzo Lucca.
Isaak Touré and Maduka Okoye aren’t available for Udinese boss Kosta Runjaić.
How Udinese might line up to play Empoli
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against AC Milan in Serie A competition, Empoli will be aiming to make amends here. We are inclined to think that Azzurri could decide to elect for a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Devis Vásquez, Mattia De Sciglio, Saba Goglichidze, Giuseppe Pezzella, E. Quartsin Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Youssef Maleh, Liberato Cacace, Sebastiano Esposito, Alberto Grassi and Lorenzo Colombo.
Empoli manager Roberto D'Aversa has to currently contend with reduced team options. Nicolas Haas (Cruciate ligament injury), Tino Anjorin (Thigh problems), Ardian Ismajli (Thigh problems), Jacopo Fazzini (Muscle injury), Tyronne Ebuehi (Cruciate ligament tear), Ola Solbakken (Shoulder injury), Saba Sazonov (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Pietro Pellegri (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.
