Historic Performances
Between 2004 and now, 40 matches have been played between Fiorentina and Udinese in the Italian Serie A. Fiorentina has rightfully won half of these games. However, Udinese has done fairly well against a much bigger opponent in Fiorentina, winning 12 matches, leaving eight evenly matched games between these two.
Fiorentina battered Udinese the most in a single tie in 2011 when they won by five goals to two. However, after several years, Udinese finally claimed a massive win like that against Fiorentina in 2022, winning four goals to nothing. Furthermore, let’s look at the most recent results between these two below.
Recent Encounters
In the last six games between Fiorentina and Udinese, cutting across the previous three seasons, the former has three wins compared to the latter’s two. However, Udinese hasn’t had any luck winning in the last three games.
Last season, it was a win in favor of Fiorentina and a draw in the return leg. Fiorentina won at Udinese’s stadium but failed to win at theirs. They’d want to make a statement this season against Udinese, considering their status as one of the top performers in the Serie A for the 24/25 league competition.
Key Factors Influencing the Match
History does repeat itself in football. However, we must still cover all bases regarding the Fiorentina – Udinese match on Monday, the 23rd. Find out more below.
Previous Match
Fiorentina hadn’t lost until their last game, which ended in a 1 – 0 unexpected loss to Bologna. Fiorentina hopes to return to winning ways against Udinese and possibly keep their current league position, especially with Lazio breathing down their necks.
On the other hand, Udinese seems too comfortable with their mediocre form this season. Only six points separate the team from the relegation zone despite sitting in ninth position on the log. Udinese lost woefully against Napoli last time out. There is no evidence yet to suggest the results on Monday would be any different.
Players
Moise Kean and Lucas Beltran are the best goal-scoring and assist-giving players in the Fiorentina side this season. Kean has already scored nine goals, while Beltran has provided four assists. The likes of David De Gea and Robin Gosens have been impressive this season, too.
Florian Thauvin is Udinese’s top performer this season, scoring four goals and assisting twice. However, this record shows how poor Udinese has been in front of goal. They have scored just 19 goals in 16 games this season and conceded 25 to their opponents.
Home Advantage
Udinese won 11 of their 12 wins against Fiorentina at home. They have been woeful on Fiorentina’s turf. Most of their losses have come whenever they are away at Stadio Artemio Franchi. They will be visiting again on Monday, and the facts suggest they are about to meet the same fate as usual.
