Udinese enter the Coppa Italia 1/32-finals in red-hot form, having won all five of their pre-season matches with a perfect blend of solid defending and clinical finishing.

Their opponents, Serie B side Carrarese, arrive after a mixed run of results, including a recent friendly win over Camaiore but defeats to top-flight sides Lecce and Fiorentina.

With a clear gap in quality and momentum heavily on Udinese’s side, the hosts will be firm favourites to progress.
