…AND HERES TONIGHTS BANKER!!! ITALY - COPPA ITALIA UDINESE VS FIORENTINA KICK OFF AT 20.00 GMT FACTS UDINESE As Zeljko Brkic is still unavailable, Ivan Kelava and Simone Scuffet are in competition to play in goal, with the latter favourite. Luis Muriel was rested in the league at the weekend, and therefore should be fresh for a start here together with Nico Lopez. Naldo will replace the suspended Danilo in the middle of defence. FIORENTINA Vincenzo Montella will not rotate, fielding his best available XI instead in the shape of a 4-3-3. After debuting with his new team, Anderson may sit on the bench to start with at Udinese. Mario Gomez has not been called up but he is expected to resume full training during the week. STATISTICS Fiorentina have won 5 of their last 6 matches in Coppa Italia PREDICTION Udineses victory in Bologna could have been the turning point of an otherwise pretty bad season for the Friulani, and their previous performances in the cup against Inter and Milan suggest they should not be underestimated. Fiorentina have slowed down in the last two matches in the league, following the same path as Napoli and missing good chances of gaining ground on the Partenopei. The Viola are not going through the best run of form at present, and they seem to be trying to survive until their big names return from injury (especially Giuseppe Rossi). Their rivals in the table (Napoli and Inter) seem willing to help out, but in the knock-out match they will have to do something more than simply aim to remain afloat. LINE UPS UDINESE (3-5-1-1) Scuffet, Domizzi, Naldo, Heurtaux, Silva, Fernandes, Pinzi, Badu, Widmer, López, Muriel FIORENTINA (4-3-3) Neto, Pasqual, Savic, Rodríguez, Roncaglia, Fernández, Pizarro, Valero, Joaquín, Matri, Cuadrado FIORENTINA WIN ODDS AROUND 2.74 ENJOY!
