Fiorentina vs Udinese Preview
Fiorentina
Fiorentina have had a tumultuous period recently. They were eliminated from Coppa Italia and drew against Guimarães in the Conference League. In the last round, La Viola had an unsuccessful trip to Bologna, losing 0-1.
On home soil, Fiorentina look solid and have not suffered a single defeat this season. In Serie A, the hosts have not lost points at the Artemio Franchi since the beginning of September, achieving five wins in the last five matches.

One of the major problems for Fiorentina is converting chances. Despite being effective in the offence, they’re poor at realising opportunities.
After the incident featuring Edoardo Bove, Fiorentina are noticeably weaker on the left side of midfield. Cristiano Biraghi was removed from the squad and replaced by Robin Gosens. He’s known for his excellent performances for Atalanta.
Udinese
Udinese lost their last two official matches with a score of 1-5. The Bianconeri, who barely escaped relegation to Serie B six months ago, are now unable to resist teams like Napoli and Inter. But, in matches with low-tier opponents, they grab points frequently and now sit 9th in the standings.
The guests have issues playing on the road. Over the last seven away matches, they managed to win only against Monza. However, even in this match, the opponents looked stronger.
Udinese’s main problems are currently concentrated in the midfield, where Sandi Lovric, Martín Payero, and Oier Zarraga have dropped out. However, Kosta Runjaić does not deviate from his lan, so we expect to see Atta, Karlström, and Ekkelenkamp, who played in Coppa Italia against Inter this week.

- Score prediction: Fiorentina 2-1 Udinese
The Fiorentina players are not in the best mood right now after all the troubles that have happened to the club recently. However, they’re quite capable of beating opponents like Udinese.
In the last 10 rounds of Serie A, La Viola have grabbed points in only four, but in these matches, they looked lackluster. It should be noted that in 75% of the matches of the current Serie A season, the Bianconeri have lost to their opponents in terms of expected goals xG.

Fiorentina, in turn, only broke their massive winning streak in the last game, which lasted as many as eight rounds. We expect the hosts to take the initiative in this clash, and our pick would be Fiorentina to win.
Fiorentina vs Udinese Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.87 (22Bet)
We have mentioned Udinese’s poor away stats, but they score goals regularly, even in unsuccessful matches. In the last four away games of Serie A, the Friulians have not let their opponents get away with a clean sheet.
The guests should worry about Albert Guðmundsson, who was one of the best forwards of the season. He scored three goals in 282 matches this season and will certainly get his chances in the attack.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, have kept only one clean sheet in the previous six Serie A games. While they look dominant, we anticipate Udinese will score as well. Thus, our pick would be both teams to score.
