The action continues in round 36 of the Italian Serie A as Udinese play host to Monza at the Bluenergy Stadium on Sunday. Kosta Runjaic’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their last four games against the visitors and will be looking to extend this solid run.
Udinese returned to winning ways last Saturday when they edged out Cagliari 2-1 at the Unipol Domus Stadium. Before that, Runjaic’s side were on a seven-game winless run in the league, losing five and claiming two draws since the second week in March.
Udinese have picked up 44 points from their 35 Serie A matches so far to sit 12th in the league standings, one point behind the 10th-placed Como.
On the other hand, Monza were left empty handed yet again as they were on the receiving end of a 4-0 thrashing against Atalanta at the U-Power Stadium last time out.
