The probable formation of Udinese / Runjaic lines up the usual 3-5-2 with Lucca and Thauvin in front, Sava in goal in place of the injured Okoye
It will be Sava himself who will defend Udinese’s goal; the goalkeeper, who played for the Granata youth team, is called upon to replace the injured Okoye. An exciting match therefore for him who will rediscover his past, with the usual ones confirmed in front Lucca and Thauvin to form the couple that will lead the Friulian attack.
Good news in defense, Bijol is there
The Slovenian defender, despite missing last day’s match against Fiorentina due to a muscle strain, will play from the start against Torino, as confirmed by Runjaic himself in the press conference.
