Fiorentina vs Udinese Prediction & Betting Tips (21 December)

In a difficult situation this season, Fiorentina is the only team which has still not pocketed a single victory in the league, 6 draws and 9 defeats. La Viola occupies the last place in Serie A with 8 points behind the first non-relegation place. Despite a quality squad, the Tuscans are unable to find the right formula. They remain on setbacks suffered against Atalanta 2-0, Sassuolo 3-1 and Hellas Verona last weekend 1-2. Udinese is currently 10th in Serie A and concedes 4 spending units on the last European folding seat.

The Friulians do not seem sufficiently armed to play for the top of the table but can, however, be satisfied with having distanced themselves from the red zone, 9 points ahead. During the last 8 days, they have gleaned 4 victories, for 4 defeats. Beaten at home by Genoa 1-2, Udinese then created a surprise by beating Napoli last weekend 1-0. 

Looking at the recent head-to-head record, Fiorentina and Udinese have produced tight battles. In May 2025, Fiorentina edged a thrilling 3-2 win in Udine, while last season saw Udinese claim a 2-1 victory in Florence. These results highlight the competitive nature of this fixture, where neither side has dominated consistently. Fiorentina’s struggles in Serie A this season have been compounded by defensive lapses, while Udinese’s attack has lacked sharpness in certain games. Both teams have been involved in matches with modest goal tallies, suggesting that this contest could be decided by fine margins rather than high-scoring drama. The tactical duel between Italiano and his opposite number will be key.

With all factors considered, Fiorentina’s home advantage and their recent morale boost from the Dynamo Kyiv win could tilt the balance in their favor. Udinese’s inconsistency away from home and their latest defeat against Genoa suggest vulnerabilities that Fiorentina might exploit. The Viola will be desperate to turn their season around, and this fixture provides the perfect opportunity to do so. Therefore, the most realistic prediction leans toward a narrow but decisive home victory. The anticipated correct score for this Serie A clash is 2:0 in favor of Fiorentina, a result that would give them much-needed breathing space and confidence heading into the new year.
