The 19th round of Italian Serie A kicks off on Tuesday when Udinese host Salernitana at the Dacia Arena.
The visitors are currently on a five-match losing streak in all competitions while the hosts will be looking to make it three wins out of three for the first time this season.
Udinese made it back-to-back wins last Saturday when they beat 10 players 4-0. Cagliari at Sardegna Arena.
It ended their six-match winless streak, following a similar 4-0 win over Crotone in the Italian Cup.
With 20 points from 18 games, Udinese are currently 15th in the Serie A table, four points behind Hellas Verona at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, life at the top of the league didn’t quite go to plan for Salarnetana, who thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the dying moments.
The newly promoted side have now lost each of their last five games in all competitions, while losing eight of their last nine since October’s 2-1 win over Venezuela.
Salernitana are currently bottom of the pile, five points from safety, having picked up just eight points from 18 games.
