2026-2027 Coppa Italia: Udinese vs. Venezia, Probable Lineups

Udinese and Venezia are battling it out for a spot in the Coppa Italia round of 16, where the winner will face Atalanta. The Triveneto derby is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, with the two teams heading into the match in different moods.

Kosta Runjaic’s Udinese has gotten off to a good start this season. After defeating Padova in the Coppa Italia thanks to a goal by Keinan Davis, the Friulians have earned four points in their first two Serie A matchdays. A draw against Como was followed by a 3-2 road win over Monza, with goals from Piotrowski, Kamara, and Ekkelenkamp.

Things have been more difficult, however, for Giovanni Stroppa’s Venezia. The Lagunari advanced in the Coppa Italia, but their return to Serie A has been disappointing so far. Venezia has lost both of its first two league matches, against Lecce and Milan, without managing to score a single goal.

Probable lineups:

UDINESE (3-4-2-1): Venuti; Abankwah, Kabasele, Bertola; Vojvoda, Miller, Karlstrom, Arizala; Unai Gomez, Gueye; Bayo. Head Coach: Runjaic.

VENEZIA (3-5-2): Montipò; Moreno, Halhal, Gomes; Sagrado, Sohm, Dagasso, Helgason, Haps; Rrahmani, Lauberbach. Head Coach: Stroppa.
