Team News

Udinese
Empoli
  • Rodrigo Becão will start in defence, while Gerard Deulofeu isn't fully fit, but will likely feature on Wednesday.
  • Lorenzo Tonelli and Mattia Destro are unlikely to play in Udine next week, while Jean-Daniel Akpa Akpro and Nedim Bajrami are favourites to start.

Prediction

  • Udinese will kick off 2023 on the back of a seven-game winless streak before the World Cup break.
  • Empoli, on the other hand, won two of their last three games, while also recording two clean sheets in the process.
  • The hosts will be eager to start the New Year as they did earlier this season, although Deulofeu's lack of full fitness could limit their attacking threat.
