“The Viola are an excellent squad and changed Coach this summer, but maintained the same philosophy of possession football,” said Coach Colantuono.
“On top of that they have three or four players in the squad who are world class. Fiorentina might be coming off three consecutive draws in all competition, but I am sure they’ll be fighting to the end for the Scudetto.
“I am equally convinced that even against a side with such technical and tactical characteristics as Fiorentina, we can continue to apply our ideas of football and cause them problems.”
Molla Wague is back in the side, but not 100 per cent fit, while Guilherme, Panagiotis Kone, Alexander Merkel, Thomas Heurtaux and Duvan Zapata are still injured.
Antonio Di Natale bagged a brace in the midweek 3-1 Coppa Italia victory over Atalanta, but his future plans remain in doubt.
“The important thing is that he is relaxed. He can be decisive at any moment of the match.”
Udinese squad for Fiorentina: Karnezis, Meret, Romo; Adnan, Danilo, Domizzi, Edenilson, Felipe, Insua, Pasquale, Piris, Wague, Widmer; Badu, Fernandes, Iturra, Lodi, Marquinho; Aguirre, Di Natale, Evangelista, Perica, Thereau
