After the home side’s trip to Monza on Friday, Udinese vs. Fiorentina predictions will be fairly evenly balanced for this intriguing match up. Fiorentina have been improving over the last year or so too and will be buoyed by their recent Europa Conference League results.

Udinese vs. Fiorentina odds

1 – Under 2.5 total goals scored – 11/10

2 – Udinese over 1.5 total goals – 11/8

3 – Fiorentina to win – 5/4

4 – Both teams to score – 4/7

5 – Luka Jović to score anytime – 15/8

Udinese thought they had got off to the best possible start to the new season on the opening day when Rodrigo Becão grabbed a goal away to Milan after just two minutes. But that game finished in a 4-2 defeat and then there was a disappointing goalless draw at home with Salernitana.

The Friuli have now played promoted Monza as well and will be hoping for a positive performance here to pull away from the group of clubs near the bottom of the Serie A table. Last season never really got going and ended up with a respectable, if uninspiring, mid-table finish.

As usual, there was a lot of coming and goings at the Stadio Friuli in the summer and Andrea Sottil needs to get the team playing together if Udinese are to improve from the last few seasons. But getting anything from the visit of Fiorentina will be tough.

That’s because Vincenzo Italiano continues to oversee a Viola side that is starting to recapture better days. After the false dawn of Rocco Commisso’s takeover, things have calmed down off the pitch and started to improve on it.

Europa Conference League group stage status has been assured – just about – and now Fiorentina can concentrate on challenging for the top spots once again. There seems to be a real belief at the Stadio Artemio Franchi now.

The campaign started off with some positive results against some of the smaller teams in Serie A before the home meeting with Napoli on Sunday. Now three points from this trip to Udine would be just perfect for Fiorentina.

Udinese team news

Nehuén Pérez is still suspended after picking up a red card in the stalemate with Salernitana, so Andrea Sottil will continue to give the rest of his squad some more experience. Irish U21 international Festy Esbole could get another opportunity on the right.

Fiorentina team news

Vincenzo Italiano should persevere with Luka Jović and Jonathan Ikoné up front, even though both missed a host of chances in the Europa Conference League tie with Twente last week and have failed to really get going in Serie A as yet.
