Serie A returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Udinese and Como lock horns at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday. This will be their first meeting since April 2003, when Kosta Runjaic’s men picked up a thrilling 3-2 win over Como.
Udinese secured their first win of the new Serie A campaign last Saturday when they edged out Lazio 2-1 at the Bluenergy Stadium. Before that, Runjaic’s men had stormed to a 4-0 victory over Serie C side Avellino in their Coppa Italia opener before drawing 1-1 with Bologna in their Serie A curtain-raiser.
Udinese have gone eight competitive games without defeat since April as they seek consecutive wins for the first time this season.
