Serie A Week 13 - 27/11/04 (18.00)
Livorno - Udinese
Stadio Picchi
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two of Serie A’s most in-form teams meet at the Stadio Franchi on Sunday as little Livorno take on Udinese. The latter are currently in third, while Livorno are just three points behind after an amazing run of results. Both teams go into this clash having won four and drawn two out of their last six League games.
Livorno have been on fire ever since boss Franco Colomba was urged to start winning games or face the sack. Wins against Bologna, Palermo and Brescia have followed, while they collected a credible 1-1 draw at local rivals Fiorentina in the last round of matches. Colomba should have a full squad at his disposal for Week 13.
Udinese boss Luciano Spalletti is not so fortunate as key players Alberto and Kroldrup remain on the treatment table with injury. But Gianpiero Pinzi returns after suspension, while striker Vincenzo Iaquinta will be hoping to maintain his good form. The Bianconeri will be keen to collect the three points after they were denied their fifth straight win when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Messina.
