Empoli host Udinese in the first of two Serie A games on Monday night, as four points separate the two sides in the bottom half of the table.

The match at the Carlo Castellani kicks off at 17.30 UK time.

The Azzurri have only lost once in their last five games and arrive after two games unbeaten in Serie A – a win over Fiorentina and a draw with Torino.

Luca Gotti’s men are also unbeaten in two consecutive games but arrive from two draws – including a 4-4 stalemate against Lazio last time.

Udinese sit four points behind Aurelio Andreazzoli’s men, who are 12th in the table and can match Hellas Verona on 23 points with a win on Monday.

Udinese are currently six points above the relegation zone and a win in Empoli will strengthen their position in safety.
