The match is scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd, at 6:30 PM. The referee will be Arena. Live TV coverage will be available on DAZN and Sky.

Here are the latest team updates and probable formations for Udinese vs Como:

Udinese's Approach

Udinese is preparing for their league debut with a defense expected to be entirely new. In addition to Kristensen's transfer, Kabasele's suspension will force the coach to field a backline similar to the one seen in the Coppa Italia, with Abankwah, Palma, and Solet protecting Okoye. On the wings, Kamara and new signing Vojvoda will play, supported by a midfield partnership of Piotrowski and Karlstrom. Zaniolo and Ekkelenkamp will operate behind the lone striker, Davis.

Como's Approach

Como opens the season away from home against Udinese, and manager Fabregas has several tactical options. Butez is the confirmed goalkeeper, with Chalobah and Ramon forming the defensive pairing. On the flanks, it's a close contest: Smolcic is expected to edge out Couto, while Kaiki is challenging Valle for a spot and has a slight advantage. Upfront, Douvikas will be the attacking focal point, with Nico Paz playing behind him. On the wings, Baturina will start, with either Diao or Jesus Rodriguez on the other side. The Senegalese player has a chance to start, with the Spaniard more likely to be a versatile option during the game.
