Serie A: Udinese vs. Torino – Confirmed Line-ups and Updates

Udinese and Torino have each made two alterations to their starting lineups for the Serie A fixture on Saturday. Udinese currently sits 11th in the league with 44 points, while Torino is in 13th place with 41 points, with only four games remaining in the season.

The home team, Udinese, is aiming to return to winning ways after a 3-3 draw and a 1-0 loss in their previous two matches. Torino, on the other hand, enters Saturday’s encounter with Udinese on a four-match unbeaten streak, most recently securing a 2-2 draw against league leaders Inter Milan. In the last four league games, only Inter Milan and Juventus have shown better form than Torino.

Udinese manager Kosta Runjaic has introduced two changes to his side following last week’s draw with Lazio. Lennon Miller and Adam Buksa will start, replacing Jakub Piotrowski and Idrissa Gueye.

Torino manager Roberto D’Aversa has also made two personnel changes after their draw with Inter. Luca Marianucci will take over at center-back, replacing Ardian Ismajli, and Cesare Casadei is back in the starting eleven, with Che Adams absent.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 2:00 PM BST.
