After a busy week of teaching my 5th-8th graders, I have found the time to catch up on the studs of Udinese. After downing Livorno with a wonder strike by Quags, Udinese was had picked up their second win on the bounce and things were looking up. However, every Friuliani in the land was trembling at the thought of the Viola who have been having in their own right, a very productive season. Staring into the faces of a team that is a legitimate UEFA Cup contender and has been flying along with their domestic campaign, an erratic Udinese side must have been worried.

Yesterday’s match against Torino was one of the dullest matches I have seen.
Udinese rarely looked threatening and despite the lovely Pepe free-kick, Torino shoved the ball down our throat for 90 min.
However, with AC Milan losing 2-1 to Sampdoria, the fight for UEFA Cup qualification is heating up with only 2 points separating the Rossoneri and the Zebrette.
Hopefully this win will re-energize Marino’s side and the boys can dig in for a strong finish.
What beauty!

With the Roman Derby gripping Italians world wide, the match between Udinese and Torino may be overlooked by many. However, do not be blinded by the hype over Derby Day, today’s match in Torino will be a thriller, I promise! After Di Natural saved his side on Saturday, Udinese is looking for all 3 today when they head to Turin. Just because Torino has the most draws in the league with 16, does not mean that a stumbling Udinese cannot pull out the victory today.

Well folks…my beloved Roma topples AC Milan in dramatic fashion, leaving room for the Zebrette to inch closer to 5th place and solidify a European spot. However, this was not to be. Though it was an exciting match and took a stroke of genius by Di Natale to salvage a point, our defense looked undeniably shaky, not to mention a poor performance by Handanovic. WHAT HAPPENED HANDY! Check the highlights folks, it was a nail-biter…

Udinese-Lazio: The Preview
By: Jason | 3 Comments
Match day is upon us Zebrette!
The Stadio Friuli will surely be buzzing with anticipation for this important match with Lazio. Udinese will be looking for a little help from the other Roman side in Serie A as they take on AC Milan this evening. With the bianconeri sitting a mere 6 points behind an off-again/on-again Milan side, a win against Lazio and a victory by the giallorossi will do well to re-energize Udinese. Recent form has been subpar from Udinese (D-W-L-L-W), Lazio has looked good (W-D-W-L-W) in their past 5 matches. Also, Udinese have been struggling at home (everywhere really) in their last 5 matches at Fiuli, having only procured a single win. Something has to change today if the Marino’s lads want to stop the grey haird growing on the gaffer.
Here’s the answer…
However with their last meeting ending in a triumphant 1-0 victory for the bianconeri away at the Stadio Olympico, Udinese will be coming out strong for today’s match. In a recent interview with Goal.com, Di Natale gave some encouraging words to the Zebrette faithful. Sitting only 5 goals back of his single season scoring record, Udinese’s leading scorer is looking to inspire his club today who certainly have the memory of the 4-2 defeat at home against Lazio last campaign ringing in their ears.

Hello all and welcome the THE home for all things Udinese!
Let’s get right into it and give you some of the recent happenings.
First off, the bianconeri put away Atalanta last Sunday with a convincing 2-0 victory with goals courtesy of Di Natale and Quags. However, a tough result 1-1 draw with Palermo this passed Saturday humbled them a bit, despite a fantastic goal by Felipe.
This Saturday should prove an interesting match with Lazio at the Stadio Friuli. Back on October 28th Asamoah Gyan provided the winner via a powerful header when proved too much from the roman outfit.
The Zebrette will be looking to continue their push for UEFA Cup qualification as they are currently 6 points behind AC who will surely fall to AS Roma this weekend!
We’ll see you again on Saturday for the pregame rundown and I’ll surely have some good dish for the prospective victory!
Cheers all!
