“Udinese are an excellent squad and I’d said that even before last week’s win at Juventus,” noted the Coach.
“They have gone back to playing 3-5-2, a system this side knows well, and the players rediscovered a certain rhythm. We know they are in good shape and the debut in their new stadium will make it an even more passionate atmosphere.”
Gilardino arrived on loan from Guangzhou Evergrande and could be thrown straight into the mix.
“I had spoken to Gilardino on the phone and realised how eager he was to come to Palermo. We hope that he can continue his usual scoring record, as he has done throughout his career. We’ll discuss together whether he starts this game.
“We worked with Robin Quaison to ensure he can cover several different positions. He can guarantee us the ability to change system during a game.”
Palermo squad for Udinese: Colombi, Marson, Sorrentino; Andelkovic, Daprelà, El Kaoutari, Goldaniga, Gonzalez, Lazaar, Rispoli, Struna, Vitiello; Brugman, Chochev, Hiljemark, Jajalo, Maresca, Quaison, Rigoni; Bentivegna, Cassini, Djurdjevic, Gilardino, Trajkovski, Vazquez
