Prediction: 3-1
Udinese
Stadio Artemio Franchi will host Thursday’s Serie A game between Fiorentina and Udinese. The Viola are enjoying a very successful season, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring goals for fun. The Juventus target is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders, and seeing that Vincenzo Italiano has a full squad to choose from, home win should be considered. Important defender Cristiano Biraghi returns to contention after missing the draw with Verona through suspension.
The Zebrette, on the other hand, rolled over Cagliari 4-0 in their last game before the New Year break. However, we are tempted to put our money on Fiorentina this time out as they are eager to keep their Champions League hopes alive. Midfielder Pereyra is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team. In the first half of the season Fiorentina defeated Udinese at Dacia Arena thanks to Dusan Vlahovic’s goal.
