Predictions & Betting Tips

Stalemate on the cards at the Dacia Arena

The hosts are currently 12th in the Serie A 2024/2025 standings with 44 after 37 matches and have just one win, a draw and three losses from their last 5 games. The Udinese Calcio vs AC Fiorentina preview highlights how Kosta Runjaic took over as Udinese head coach on June 14, 2024 and has been adapting tactics to fit the squad in the early stages of his reign. The Zebrette have been forced into a more reactive, pragmatic approach, especially when up against top sides or without some of their key attacking players, but they can be quite the threat when all their pieces are firing. Lorenzo Lucca has been Udinese’s most reliable source of goals this season with 11 Serie A goals in 32 appearances. Fiorentina are a much more attacking side and Raffaele Palladino’s appointment as head coach on July 1, 2024 has been reflected in their high-tempo, creative play that should be good enough for a European berth next season. Moise Kean has been on fire this season, scoring 18 Serie A goals in 31 appearances, while Robin Gosens has chipped in with three goals in the last five games to give Fiorentina some more of a midfield threat.

Viola can edge it, but Udinese are never out of a match

Fiorentina will be favourites at +106 to take all three points in this game with Udinese coming in at +290 and the draw at +280, but the odds on both teams to score is excellent value at -111. This Udinese Calcio vs AC Fiorentina prediction is a tough one to call, but Fiorentina have the greater need for the points, and their away record in Serie A this term of six wins, four draws and eight defeats looks pretty good when compared to Udinese’s home record of seven wins, three draws and eight defeats from 18 matches. La Viola have scored 1.39 goals per game away from home and conceded an average of 1.17. With Udinese scoring 20 home goals this term, the Udinese Calcio vs AC Fiorentina prediction suggests that both sides will get on the scoresheet. Udinese can’t boast a great home record, failing to win their two previous matches at the stadium, while Fiorentina are on a three-game losing streak on the road. But Fiorentina will have to take the game to Udinese, who will be happy to absorb pressure and hit back when they can. Our Udinese Calcio vs AC Fiorentina betting tips recommend paying close attention to the tactics, as both coaches are relatively new to the jobs and should have a few new tricks up their sleeves, so it should be an interesting tactical game. The draw looks the most likely outcome, but with Fiorentina in better form we’ll take them to nick it.
