It's early days in the Serie A and both Fiorentina and Udinese are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Fiorentina and Udinese should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Fiorentina form and stats
Only two Serie A home games for Fiorentina so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Fiorentina drew their last game, 2-2 away at Spezia (placed 13th). Preceding that match was the home game against Sampdoria that was lost 1-2.
Opportunity lost for Fiorentina in the Spezia match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fiorentina matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, three draws and one defeat (from six games).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Fiorentina as they have a new game in only three days, a Coppa Italia match thankfully also at home. Calcio Padova are visiting.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Fiorentina at home in the league. 2 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
Udinese form and stats
Udinese have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie A were 6 victories, 3 draws and 10 defeats from 19 fixtures.
Udinese go into this game after a win, the home game against Parma that ended 3-2. A loss against Roma was the result prior to that, in a home game.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager L. Gotti when Ignacio Pussetto scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 67th minute.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Udinese playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
A new game in only three days for Udinese, the Coppa Italia home match versus Vicenza. Busy days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Udinese has managed 0 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Fiorentina victories, three draws and one Udinese win. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
