Before the AS Rome-Naples showdown on Wednesday, another important fixture takes place on Tuesday: the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-final between Udinese and Fiorentina. For Udinese, currently sitting in 14th place in the Italian Championship after three consecutive seasons among the top five, this match represents a crucial opportunity to secure European qualification for the season.
Hassan Yebda, the Algerian international recently acquired from Granada CF, could potentially make his debut in Udinese’s colors in this match against Fiorentina. Yebda, with his familiarity with Italian football, is expected to adapt quickly to his new surroundings and could play a significant role for Udinese in this crucial fixture.
