Udinese vs Fiorentina prediction, preview, team news and more | Serie A 2022-23

The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Udinese lock horns with Fiorentina on Wednesday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.

Udinese are currently in 11th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The home side edged Monza to an important 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this year. La Viola held Napoli to a 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.

Udinese vs Fiorentina Prediction

Fiorentina are yet to justify their potential in the Serie A and will be intent on securing their place in Europe next year. The likes of Luka Jovic and Nicolas Gonzalez have flattered to deceive so far and will need to step up in this match.

Udinese can pack a punch on their day but have been plagued by inconsistency so far this year. Fiorentina are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Udinese 1-3 Fiorentina
