The Serie A features an interesting round of fixtures this weekend as Fiorentina host Udinese at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday. Both sides have failed to meet expectations this season and will want to turn their season around over the weekend.Fiorentina are currently in 12th place in the Serie A table and have failed to pick up a victory in their last three games. La Viola got off to a sensational start against Spezia last week but an exceptional second-half comeback saw the two teams share the spoils.Udinese, on the other hand, suffered consecutive defeats in their first three games of the Serie A season but bounced back with a victory against Parma in their previous game.
