Catania vs Udinese preview - Pozzo: We cannot let this opportunity go by

Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo is confident his side can hold on to third spot and clinch Champions League qualification when they take on Catania in Sicily.

The Friuli outfit moved two points clear of Lazio following a 2-0 away win over Genoa in the last round and Francesco Guidolin's men know that anything but a defeat will ensure they finish third.

"We have a unique opportunity in Catania," Pozzo said.

"We cannot fail and it will be a fascinating game.

"My team needs to be fully focused and get the job done.

"We know destiny is in our hands and we cannot let this opportunity go by."

Should Lazio, who host Inter Milan on Sunday, finish level on points, the Bianconeri would qualify as they have a better head-to-head against the Romans.

Udinese have reason to be upbeat as they travel to the Angelo Massimino stadium having won their last three league games without conceding a goal.

Catania have nothing to play for except pride but coach Vincenzo Montella has stressed that his side will not be giving anything away on Sunday and expects a good game.

"We will play our game without feeling the need to do anyone any favours," Montella said.

"Udinese will have great motivation as they are looking to finish the campaign in third place but we will try to put in a good performance and win."

The Sicilian outfit have claimed just one victory in their last nine league games.

Last weekend's 2-2 draw at Roma left them 10th in the standings.

Guidolin will have all of his players available with the exception of injured midfielder Mauricio Isla.

Antonio Di Natale will lead Udinese's attack. He has scored 22 goals and is the top Italian scorer in Serie A this season.
