Udinese form and stats

A Serie A draw at home so far for Udinese. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.

It's back home for Udinese, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Monza away with the result 2-1. Udogie and Beto found the net in that victory. A huge relief, as that was the first three points in the league after playing, but not winning, seven consecutive matches. Becão, defender, was given a rating of 7.82/10 in that game, top of the team. Becão served one assist, hit one key pass and won 13 of 16 duels.

In the match before that, Udinese hosted Salernitana and drew the game 0-0.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Udinese have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 1, drawn 3 and lost 4.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Udinese, as the Serie A home game vs Roma is only four days away.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Udinese at home in the league. 0 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Fiorentina form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first Serie A away game of the season. During their previous season 19 away games resulted in 6 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats.

Fiorentina have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 180 minutes ago. Mandragora was the goal scorer. 202 minutes! That's how long the Fiorentina goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Fiorentina's last game was the home draw against Napoli (0-0). Quarta, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.64. Quarta hit one key pass and won 6 of 11 duels.

Before that game, 0-0 away against FC Twente in the Europa Conference League. As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 7 similar matches played by Fiorentina in our archives, and the results are: 2 wins for Fiorentina, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Juventus in just three days.

Fiorentina have the goal stats of 0-0 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.
