Fiorentina - Udinese predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Udinese are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Fiorentina should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Udinese seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.78, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

There’s not much that can be said about Fiorentina’s performance against Hellas Verona in the previous round. Their fans at SeatGeek Stadium were treated to an even score throughout the game which ended in a : draw.

Udinese’s previous round was a home match against Napoli which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 4.64 odds on a home win.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Fiorentina have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Though they’re heading into this game as favourites, the hosts’ confidence is shaken after half a season’s worth of mishaps. They’re fighting to get out of the relegation zone, though, which should offer ample motivation.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
