Can FC Südtirol repeat the sensation in Udine?

This year, however, the opponent is considered to be a lot bigger than promoted team Frosinone was last year. Udinese is one of the permanent guests in Serie A and wants to rehabilitate itself after a catastrophic year. The Friulians, who are coached by Croatian ex-Juventus star Igor Tudor, are a big deal.

The pressure is on Udinese However, the South Tyroleans still have one advantage: Fabian Tait & Co. have nothing to lose – on the contrary. While Udinese is expected to win clearly against FCS, coach Stefano Vecchi's team can only surprise. The FCS achieved this a week ago when Serie B club Virtus Entella was knocked out of the cup.

Udinese, which failed to qualify for the Champions League in 2011 and 2012, is waiting for FC Südtirol with some top-class players. Juan Musso, an Argentine national goalkeeper, is in goal, although his representative Simone Scuffet could also be used in the cup. Samir, who was called up to the Brazilian national team for the first time on Friday, is clear in defence. Before that, Rolando Mandragora, one of Italy's greatest talents, plays. Offensively, Argentine international Rodrigo de Paul and captain Kevin Lasagna are causing a sensation. Rodrigo de Paul (right) is the star of Udinese. © ANSA / STEFANO LANCIA

The winner of the cup duel will face Bologna or Pisa in the round of 16, although the Serie A league team is of course the favorite to advance. By the way: If FC Südtirol wins against Udinese and also wins the following round of 16, then Juventus would be waiting in the quarter-finals.

The duel between Udinese and FC Südtirol kicks off on Sunday evening at 20.30 p.m. in the Dacia Arena in Udine. The match will not be broadcast live on television. Coppa Italia: 3nd round Udinese Calcio – FC Südtirol (Sunday, 20.30 p.m.)
