Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Udinese
Torino will look to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Empoli when they take on Udinese at their Stadio Olimpico di Torino on Saturday afternoon. Il Toro are eyeing their fourth consecutive win at home, but the Zebrette should not be written off just yet. Ange Caumenan N’Guessan and Perr Schuurs are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Zebrette aim to put an end to their five-game winless run in the national championship. As Udinese conceded seven goals in total in the previous two away games in the Serie A, we are tempted to bet on Torino. Midfielder Martin Payero is sidelined through suspension, while all Gerard Deulofeu, Enzo Ebosse, Jaka Bijol, Keinan Davis, and Vivaldo remain on the sidelines through injuries. This match comes too early for Brazil forward Brenner.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008.
