Venezia vs Udinese Line-ups Announced

Venezia and Udinese meet in a crucial match in the lower half of Serie A. The match will be played at 20:45 CET (19:45 GMT) at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, and Juan Luca Sacchi will referee.

Venezia sit at the bottom of the table with 3 points, while Udinese are 19th with 5 points. Venezia, under Davide Nicola, beat Napoli in his first match in charge, but then lost four matches in a row. Their most recent defeat was a 1-0 loss away to Como last Sunday.

Paolo Zanetti is in charge of Udinese for the first time, and his opponents will be the club he led into Serie A in 2021. Kosta Runjaic was sacked on Monday, following a 5-2 home defeat to Roma. The team had gone eight matches without a win during that period. At his unveiling ceremony, Zanetti said that those who run for the team and deserve to play will be the ones who play.

Thierry Correia returns to the Venezia squad after recovering from a muscle injury. However, Nicola said Correia is mainly in the squad to regain match rhythm and is not expected to play a major role. Andrea Adorante, Bartol Franjić and Marin Šverko will not be available due to injuries.

For Udinese, Oumar Solet has returned from a calf injury, but his minutes will be managed carefully. Keinan Davis is doubtful until the last moment because of a muscle problem. Vakoun Bayo has just returned from a rear leg injury. David Alaba and Alessandro Zanoli will not be available until after the international break. Gueye is out after ankle surgery.
