Udinese host Parma at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday in Serie A. The hosts are 10th in the points table with 36 points.
They picked up a narrow 1-0 win over Lecce in their last match. Team top scorer Lorenzo Lucca scored the sole goal of the game from the spot in the first half before getting hooked off minutes later following a row with captain Florian Thauvin.
Parma, meanwhile, have struggled to readjust to life in the top flight. They, however, picked up a surprise and much-needed 2-0 victory over Bologna last time out. Ange-Yoan Bonny opened the scoring in the first half before Simon Sohm doubled their advantage in the second. Parma have climbed out of the drop zone, up to 17th place.
