This final round clash promises plenty of drama as Fiorentina chase European qualification and Udinese look to finish the season on a high.
With both sides having plenty on the line, expect a competitive encounter under the Friday evening lights. Whether you’re a fan of the Zebrette or La Viola, our preview will guide you through the latest form, our forecast, and the best betting odds to consider.
How are both teams coming into this?
Fiorentina arrive in Udine needing a win to keep their hopes alive for European qualification. La Viola have struggled on the road lately, losing five of their last seven away matches in Serie A. Their recent trip to the Stadio Artemio Franchi ended in a 2-1 defeat to Udinese, showing that the hosts know how to capitalize on home advantage.
Udinese, on the other hand, have enjoyed a more stable finish to the season. A hard-fought victory against Fiorentina earlier this term demonstrated their ability to spring surprises. With nothing but pride at stake, the Zebrette will be keen to exploit Fiorentina’s vulnerability and secure a morale-boosting win in front of their home crowd.
Our forecast
We expect a tight, tactical battle, with both sides wary of conceding early. Given Fiorentina’s recent away woes and Udinese’s confidence at home, a low-scoring affair seems most likely. Our prediction is a 1-1 draw, which would see Fiorentina’s fate decided by other results, while Udinese can exit the season on a positive note.
For bettors, backing both teams to score could be a smart play, especially with odds hovering around 1.80. A draw at around 3.40 also offers value if you believe neither side will gain the upper hand. Keep an eye on match updates for any late team news that could influence the outcome.
