Serie A returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Udinese lock horns with an impressive Fiorentina side in an important encounter at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday.
Fiorentina vs Udinese Preview
Udinese are currently in 16th place in the Serie A standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Lazio last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form so far this season. La Viola edged Bologna to a victory on penalties in the Coppa Italia in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Fiorentina vs Udinese Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Fiorentina have a good recent record against Udinese and have won 26 out of the last 49 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Udinese's 13 victories.
- Fiorentina have won their last two matches against Udinese in the Serie A without conceding a single goal and could secure a streak of three such victories on the trot for the first time since 1953.

Fiorentina vs Udinese Prediction
Fiorentina have a good squad at their disposal and will be intent on making the most of their impeccable form. The likes of Josip Brekalo and Jonathan Ikone can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark this weekend.
Udinese have failed to meet expectations this season and will need to step up to the plate in this match. Fiorentina have been the better team so far and should be able to win this game.
