KICK off: 27 August 19:30
Team news: Udinese’s only injury concern is with forward Ilija Nestorovski, who continues to recover from a long-term knee problem, so either Stefano Okaka or Ignacio Pussetto is expected to start up front. Gotti is set to stick with a three-man defence, but could bring Deulofeu into his starting lineup, which would likely see central midfielder Jean-Victor Makengo drop to the bench. Regular rotation in the wing-back positions could be implemented by the Bianconeri this term, and Gotti may decide to make changes on Friday, with Jens Stryger Larsen and Marvin Zeegelaar hoping to start ahead of Nahuel Molina and Destiny Udogie. Venezia, meanwhile, became the first Serie A side since 2000 to give a debut to 12 different players in a single match last weekend. The majority of these players are set to feature once again on Friday, including midfielders Dor Peretz, Daan Heymans and Arnor Sigurdsson. Another new recruit could be in line to make his debut, with Thomas Henry – who scored 21 goals for Belgian side Oud-Heverlee Leuven last season – in contention to start up front. Zanetti will be without goalkeeper Luca Lezzerini due to a knee injury, while Mattia Aramu is to serve the final game of his three-match suspension which he picked up at the backend of last season. However, Antonio Vacca, Pasquale Mazzocchi and captain Marco Modolo are all set to return from suspension, with the latter expected to start in central defence alongside either Pietro Ceccaroni or AC Milan loanee Mattia Caldara.
