Managerial Selections for the 23rd Matchday Fixture at the Bluenergy Stadium
Udinese and Roma face off at the Bluenergy Stadium in a key fixture for the 23rd matchday of Serie A.
Udinese coach Runjaic, seeking continued momentum following his side`s convincing 3-1 victory against Verona in the previous round, has selected a 3-4-2-1 setup. Okoye is the designated goalkeeper, protected by a defensive line of Solet, Kristensen, and Bertola. The central midfield features Miller and Karlström, supported on the flanks by the wing-backs Ehizibue and Zemura. The offensive responsibility falls to the lone striker Davis, who will be supported just behind by the attacking pair of Ekkelenkamp and Atta.
Opposing manager Gasperini has responded by deploying a similar 3-4-2-1 formation for Roma. Svilar starts in goal, anchored by the back three of Mancini, Ndicka, and Hermoso. In the center of the park, Cristante and El Aynaoui link the defense and attack, with the wide roles entrusted to the confirmed wingers Wesley and Celik. The attacking midfield trio comprises Pellegrini and Soulé, operating in support of the sole attacking spearhead, Malen.
