Udinese

LLDWLL

Udinese will be hoping for a better result after a 2-0 Serie A loss in their previous game against Juventus.

In that game, Udinese managed 36% possession and 7 attempts on goal with 2 on target. On the other side, Juventus got 24 attempts on goal with 7 on target. Nicólas González (61') and Dušan Vlahović (88') scored for Juventus.

Udinese have struggled with their forward play in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 vs opponents over their previous 6 outings. In those games, Udinese have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 11. We will see if that trend will be continued on in this game.

A look at their previous results shows us that Udinese:

• are unbeaten in the league by Fiorentina in their previous 2 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 4 league matches. That's never good.

Fiorentina

WLLDLW

Fiorentina will go into this clash following a 3-2 Serie A win versus Bologna in their previous match.

In that match, Fiorentina had 40% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 5 on target. For Fiorentina, the goals were scored by Fabiano Parisi (13'), Amir Richardson (67') and Moise Kean (84'). For their opponents, Bologna got 15 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Thijs Dallinga (61') and Riccardo Orsolini (79') scored for Bologna.

The numbers tell their own story, and Fiorentina have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 10 goals in all. At the back, Fiorentina could really do with shoring things up.

Ahead of this meeting, Fiorentina are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Udinese

It’s our opinion that Bianconeri Friuliani could kick off with a 3-5-2 system for this game, utilising Maduka Okoye, Christian Kabasele, Jaka Bijol, Oumar Solet, Kingsley Ehizibue, Arthur Atta, Jesper Karlstroem, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jordan Zemura, Lorenzo Lucca and Alexis Sanchez.

ℹ️ Team News: Fiorentina

Fiorentina manager Raffaelle Palladino has to choose a team with limited availability. Danilo Cataldi (muscular problems) and Edoardo Bove (heart problems) are those who can’t be considered.

From our viewpoint, La Viola could decide to utilise a 3-5-2 system, starting the game with David De Gea, Pietro Comuzzo, Pablo Mari, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Rolando Mandragora, Amir Richardson, Nicolo Fagioli, Robin Gosens, Lucas Beltran and Moise Kean.

🧠 Prediction

When taking everything into account, Udinese will need to apply a lot of pressure to breach the defence of this Fiorentina outfit who we reckon will manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’ve gone for a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for Fiorentina when the full-time whistle blows.

We’ll see what happens.
