Verona boss Gabriele Cioffi meets his ex club Udinese at the Stadio Bentegodi tonight in the final match of Serie A matchday 8. Check out the probable line-ups.

The Gialloblu are desperate for a win after two defeats in a row, while Udinese are eager to extend their five-game winning streak.

Ivan Ilicic is not fully fit after the international break, so he should be replaced by Miguel Veloso. Davide Faraoni and Diego Coppola are still out, but Adrien Tameze and Simone Verdi are fit to start.

The Gialloblu have kept three clean sheets in the last three home games against Udinese, but they have won just one of the last 10 league matches against any opponent losing the two most recent ones without scoring.

Udinese are without Leonardo Buta and Adam Masina out, while Sandi Lovric is the favourite over Samar Samardzic in central midfield.

Beto is the striker with the best minute-per-goal ratio in Serie A, considering players with at least 150 minutes thanks to his goals in 297 mins, one every 74.

Verona-Udinese, probable line-ups

Verona (3-4-2-1): Montipò; Gunter, Hien, Ceccherini; Depaoli, Tameze, Veloso, Lazovic; Verdi, Hrustic; Henry.

Udinese (3-5-2): Silvestri; Becao, Bijol, Perez; Pereyra, Lovric, Walace, Makengo, Udogie; Beto, Deulofeu
