Udinese host Venezia in the Coppa Italia, with Kosta Runjaic's side looking to build on a strong start to the new season and advance in the cup competition.
Udinese arrive in good shape. They won their Coppa Italia opener against Calcio Padova and have taken four points from their first two Serie A fixtures, including a 2-3 victory away at Monza on matchday two.
Venezia, back in the top flight after promotion, have endured a difficult opening to the league campaign. Giovanni Stroppa's side lost 2-0 at AC Milan and were beaten 0-2 by Lecce, leaving them without a Serie A point so far.
The visitors did show they can score goals in this competition, coming from behind to beat Modena 3-2 in their Coppa Italia first-round tie. That result will give Stroppa some confidence heading into this fixture.
For Udinese, home advantage counts. They have won their last two meetings with Venezia at their own ground in Serie A, and Runjaic will expect his squad to control proceedings in a cup tie that offers genuine progression opportunity.
With both clubs eager to stay alive in the Coppa Italia, this should be a competitive tie. Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch the match.
