Preseason friendlies: Udinese vs. Shabab Al Ahli, probable lineups

Udinese and Shabab Al Ahli will face off in Austria in a friendly match scheduled for 5:30 p.m. in Lienz. The two teams had already faced each other in the summer of 2025; on that occasion, the Emirati side prevailed 3-1. Runjaic’s team aims to assess its progress following last week’s loss to Swansea in a preseason friendly. Al Shabab, led by familiar face Paulo Sousa and training in Austria for the past two weeks, has soundly defeated SK St. Johann and Al Sadd in recent days.

Davis is Udinese’s center forward, with Ekkelenkamp and Bayo playing behind him. In midfield, Miller partners with Piotrowski, with Vojvoda and Kamara on the wings.

The Emiratis have Kauan Santos as their offensive focal point, with Yuri César, Guilherme, and Sultan Adil behind him. In midfield are Maksimovic and Irala.
