Two sides that are battling for the eighth spot in the Serie A standings will clash on Sunday. Fiorentina currently holds the much sought-after spot, but Udinese could leapfrog their rivals with a success on Sunday.
Serie A Preview
It promises to be a historic end to the season for Fiorentina, as they remain in the hunt for two major trophies. They will also be looking to end the domestic season in strong form, as they will be targeting an eighth-place finish. They come into this fixture sitting in that exact spot, but there are five points tied on 46 points with four games of the campaign remaining. Fiorentina’s focus has certainly shifted in recent weeks, as they come into this match after winning just once over their previous five.
Despite their recent stuttering form, Fiorentina are still unbeaten across their previous six home matches in the league. Over that period, they have recorded three wins and three draws. They have only enjoyed a longer unbeaten streak at Franchi Stadium back in January 2022.
Udinese are among the leading challengers for an eighth-place finish in Serie A this term, and they come into this showdown as the only side on 46 points to have picked up maximum points last weekend. That win was their second over their previous four, while they have lost just once over that period.
But, Udinese’s away form would be a pressing concern coming into this showdown. They have lost each of their previous three on the road, and they have failed to score in any of those outings. They haven’t suffered four straight defeats on the road without scoring since 2019.
Fiorentina vs Udinese Head to Head
Udinese has a very encouraging record in this fixture, as they have won three of their previous four against Fiorentina. That is an excellent return to form in this fixture after failing to win the last nine before the start of this run. Fiorentina’s 13-match winning run in this fixture was ended last year, as Udinese claimed a 4-0 win.
Fiorentina vs Udinese Prediction
The fact that this match comes in between Fiorentina’s Europa Conference League semi-finals can’t be overlooked. That is a competition that they have taken seriously throughout the season, and changes may be made for this showdown against Udinese. Therefore, a chance will be taken on the visitors on Sunday.
