Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Udinese and Fiorentina go head to head at Dacia Arena in what is expected to be a close Serie A game. The Zebrette have drawn each of their last three league matches and they are likely to stick to their defensive style of play against the Viola. Christian Kabasele is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with Cagliari, while all Brenner, Masina, Deulofeu, and Ehizibue remain in the recovery room.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Atalanta in the Serie A derby at the weekend, but beating Udinese on the road is easier said than accomplished. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils in the Serie A round 5. Both Yerry Mina and Gaetano Castrovilli are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side, while Christian Kouame should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner against the Orobici.
Highlighted Player (Christian Kouame):
Christian Kouame is an Ivory Coast international who has been playing for Serie A side Genoa since 2018. Kouame started his youth career at Prato and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Sassuolo and Inter, he returned to Stadio Lungobisenzio.
The 185-cm-tall forward made his professional debut with Prato on September 6, 2015 in a 2-1 loss to Pisa. Christian Kouame started the match, but he was replaced by Alberto Aladje after 66 minutes. The Genoa attacker, though, has yet to earn a call-up for the Ivory Coast national team. He has two caps for the Ivory Coast U23 team, but he is still eyeing his senior team debut.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The Genoa footballer was born in Abijan on December 6, 1997 and he has a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2023.
