Super Eagles stars, Isaac Success and Tyrone Ebuehi, will put friendship aside when their clubs, Udinese and Empoli lock horns in a Serie A encounter on Wednesday.
Udinese, who have Success in their ranks, will look to end their seven games winless streak in the league.
Ebuehi’s Empoli have won two of their last three league games.
The hosts have made their home ground, the Dacia Arena, a fortress this season but lost 2-1 to Napoli the last time they played in front of their fans.
Udinese started the season on a high but fell off the table after five defeats and two draws from their last seven fixtures.
Success is yet to open his goal account this season, but has recorded three assists in 15 appearances.
Ebuehi has featured in six games with an assist to his name.
