Serie A: Okoye eyes 10th clean sheet as Udinese face Parma

Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye will be aiming for his 10th clean sheet of the season when his side host Parma at the Bluenergy Stadium.

 

The Nigerian international heads into the fixture in strong form, having kept clean sheets in Udinese’s last three league matches — the first time he has achieved such a run in his career.

 

Okoye has recorded nine clean sheets in 24 Serie A appearances this season, underlining his growing influence between the sticks.

 

Another shutout against Parma would see the 26-year-old equal his personal best of 10 clean sheets, set during the 2020/21 campaign with Dutch side Sparta Rotterdam, where he achieved the feat in 28 matches.

 

Udinese will be banking on his consistency as they look to maintain defensive solidity in the league.
