Top-four chasing Fiorentina will look to sustain their home momentum when they welcome bottom-half club Udinese. This Serie A matchday 20 will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday. Ahead of this round of fixtures, the hosts are 4th with 33 points while the visitors are 16th with 17 points. Fiorentina find themselves battling for a top-four spot as four sides are separated by just three points before this weekend’s games. The hosts are confident of their chances though, as they are picking up some momentum in their season. A win via penalties against Bologna in the Coppa Italia meant they have now lost just once across their last ten competitive games. The mood gets better at home as Fiorentina have won their last seven competitive matches at this venue.

Udinese are in a tight battle for survival, as teams from 16th to 20th are separated by just four points. Although a long shot, a loss here coupled with adverse results elsewhere could see them get dragged into the relegation zone. That should be enough to spur them into action and improve from their 2-1 loss to Lazio last matchday. Crucially for the visitors, they have lost consecutive matches only once in this league campaign. That’s largely due to the 11 draws they picked up in the season, underlining their capability to frustrate sides. That will be tested on this trip as Udinese have lost their last two Serie A matches against Fiorentina and have also lost two of their last three away games in this league campaign.
