Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Salernitana lock horns with Udinese in an important clash at the Bluenergy Stadium on Saturday.
Udinese vs Salernitana Preview
Salernitana are currently rooted to the bottom of the Serie A standings and have struggled to make an impact so far this season. The away side slumped to a damaging 2-0 defeat at the hands of Monza last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Udinese, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far this season. The hosts suffered a 2-0 defeat against Genoa in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
