Round 19 of the Italian Serie A gets underway on Tuesday as Udinese play host to Salernitana at the Dacia Arena.
The visitors are currently on a run of five straight defeats across all competitions, while the hosts will be seeking to make it three wins from three for the first time this season.
Udinese picked up successive victories last Saturday when they eased to a 4-0 win over 10-man Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena.
This followed a similar 4-0 win over Crotone in the Coppa Italia which saw their six-game winless run come to an end.
With 20 points from 18 games, Udinese are currently 15th in the Serie A table, four points behind Hellas Verona in the top half of the standings.
Meanwhile, life in the top-flight has not exactly gone as planned for Salernitana, who were thrashed 5-0 by Inter Milan last time out.
The newly-promoted side have now lost each of their last five games across all competitions, while losing eight of their last nine since October’s 2-1 win over Venezia.
Salernitana are currently rooted to the bottom of the pile, five points away from safety, after picking up just eight points from 18 games.
