Stadio Friuli: Home of Udinese(credit:

Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin has warned his side that three points are not a given against rock-bottom Bari.
While Udinese are challenging for a place in Europe next season, Bari are rooted to the foot of the Serie A table, 11 points from safety, having won just one of their last 20 games.
But Guidolin believes it would be wrong of his side to underestimate their visitors this afternoon.
He said: “I expect a lively Bari and a difficult game for us.
“I don't think about the past results but about the present and I believe we will be put to the test by a side that cannot afford a defeat.
“In football, there is nothing guaranteed.”
While Udinese will be brimming with confidence following a 7-0 rout of Palermo in midweek, Bari head into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Fiorentina.
