Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Fiorentina play host to Udinese at their Stadio Artemio Franchi in what is expected to be an interesting Serie A game. Fiorentina aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bologna and you should know that they are eyeing their sixth consecutive win at home ground. Defender Dodo serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while both Bove and Pongracic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Meanwhile, the Zebrette struggled defensively in a 3-1 loss to Napoli. As Udinese are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Monday’s clash. The likes of Payero, Okoye, Davis, and Zarraga are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. Slovenia midfielder Sandi Lovric is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match, with Arthur Atta being ready to step up.
