Udinese hosts Fiorentina in round 26 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 29th at Dacia Arena (Udine)
In 25 rounds played, Udinese scored 27 points and took place not so far from the relegation zone. The team is in a rather protracted crisis. The Black and Whites cannot win for seven matches in a row, and it is unlikely that the situation will change in the upcoming game. Three last meetings ended in a draw, and Udinese played against rather modest Brescia, Verona, and Bologna. Fiorentina is certainly “no worse” than the above teams. At the same time, Udinese scores very little - only 21 goals in 25 matches. Only SPAL, which takes the last line of the tournament standings, has less. I won’t be surprised if Udinese loses in the upcoming match.

Football players of Giuseppe Iachini show a rather good game away. Only one round ago, the Violets went to visit Sampdoria and tore the hosts to pieces, having beaten them with a 1-5 score. It should be noted that everything turned out to be extremely unsuccessful for Sampdoria - an own goal in the eighth minute, a penalty kick in the 18th one, a red card in the 39th minute, and another eleven-meter shot. A 0-3 score before leaving for the locker room, and Sampdoria couldn’t even start the second half. But this does not negate the merits of Fiorentina. In the last home round, the Violets managed to share points with Milan (1-1). Despite the injury of the most eminent and experienced football player Frank Ribery, Iachini built the team’s game very well, and the absence of the Frenchman has not seemed catastrophic for a long time. Young Chiesa and Vlahovic, who scored 10 points in the goal + pass system, are in perfect shape. In all respects, the Violets look more preferable before the upcoming match. Most likely, Fiorentina will not lose.
The Violets have not lost to Udinese for four years. As for seven last head-to-head meetings, the teams tied twice and Fiorentina got the upper hand in five other cases. Bookmakers give approximately equal quotes, not particularly highlighting the favorite. And I understand why. Udinese tied in three last matches, and I won’t be surprised at a peaceful outcome in the upcoming game. But I’ll stop my choice at the non-losing of Fiorentina.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win with +0.5 handicap
