In the 20th round of Serie A, Fiorentina will face Udinese, and the match forecast for these teams has been crafted by the analysts of our website.
Fiorentina
The "Viola" have set ambitious goals for themselves, aspiring to play in the Champions League. Currently, the aim to finish in the top quartet seems attainable, as the team holds the fourth position in the league table. However, the competition will be fierce. In the last round, the team suffered a 0-1 defeat away against Sassuolo, breaking a three-game winning streak. Recently, Fiorentina advanced to the semi-finals of the Italian Cup but managed to defeat Bologna only in a penalty shootout at home. Five players will be sidelined for the upcoming battle.
Udinese
The Friulians cannot boast phenomenal results this season, as they occupy the 16th position in the league table. The three-point gap from the relegation zone doesn't allow for a sense of security. In the last round, the team conceded a 1-2 defeat at home against Lazio, despite putting up a solid performance. Injuries will prevent seven players from taking the field.
Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head encounters

Match prediction for Fiorentina vs Udinese

We anticipate a hard-fought battle but will take the risk to bet on the clean victory of the home team.
