Udinese looks to arrest a damaging three-match losing streak against a Fiorentina side that is thriving on the road but faces extreme fatigue. The visitors secured a dominant 5-1 win in the last meeting, but 120 minutes of European action and heavy rotation could provide the hosts a lifeline.

Form & Streaks

Udinese has lost 3 consecutive Serie A matches heading into this fixture.

Fiorentina has failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 10 Serie A away matches.

Fiorentina has seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches across all competitions.

Tactical Overview

Udinese enters this fixture in a tailspin, having lost three straight Serie A matches including a 1-0 defeat to Bologna and a 2-1 loss at Lecce. Their attack is hindered by the absence of Keinan Davis, leaving Nicolò Zaniolo to shoulder the creative burden against a Fiorentina defense that has failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 straight away league games. Fiorentina has been much more effective away from home recently, picking up six points from their last three trips with wins at Como and Bologna. However, manager Paolo Vanoli is forced into significant rotations after a grueling 2-4 loss to Jagiellonia in midweek. The loss of Dodô to suspension and Robin Gosens to injury severely limits the visitors' width, which may force them into a more central, possession-heavy approach led by the in-form Moise Kean.

The light rain shower (0.6mm/h) and 10C temperature will ensure a slick playing surface at the Friuli. With low wind speeds of 5.0 km/h, there is no significant impact on ball flight, but the wet pitch may slightly favor quick attacking transitions and increase the likelihood of sliding tackle fouls.
