Team Form and Analysis:
Udinese has had a mixed start to their season, with a recent loss to AC Milan in Serie A. However, their Coppa Italia journey began with a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Carrarese. The hosts will be looking to their home advantage to secure another win and advance to the next round. Udinese is a solid side with a number of key players, but they are dealing with some injury concerns, with Daniele Padelli and Sandi Lovric both ruled out.
Palermo, meanwhile, has been in sensational form, remaining unbeaten in their last five competitive matches. The visitors, currently in Serie B, have a perfect record in their last two league games, with a 2-0 victory over Bari and a 2-0 win over Sudtirol. Their Coppa Italia campaign started with a 1-0 away victory over Cremonese. Under their manager, Palermo has shown a good balance of attacking threat and defensive solidity. They will be looking to continue their impressive run and cause an upset against their Serie A opponents.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is closely contested. Udinese has a slight edge, but the last time the two sides met was in Serie A in 2017, where Udinese secured a comfortable 4-1 victory. However, Palermo has been in good form and will be looking to their recent winning streak to secure a much-needed victory.
Player to Watch:
- Udinese: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, particularly Sandi Lovric and Kingsley Ehizibue. Lovric has been a constant threat in the midfield, while Ehizibue has been a key player on the right flank.
- Palermo: The focus for Palermo will be on their key attacking players, particularly Matteo Brunori and Jérémy Le Douaron. Brunori has been a constant threat, while Le Douaron has been a key player in the attack.
Prediction:
Given Udinese’s home advantage and their superior squad quality, they are the clear favorites to win this match. However, Palermo’s excellent recent form and their desperation for a victory suggest that this will be a much tighter contest. A narrow victory for Udinese seems like a very plausible outcome, as they look to continue their Coppa Italia journey.
