Serie A
21 December
Fiorentina - Udinese
Btts (1.90)
Fiorentina, with former players Mandragora (C. 4 goals) – who I imagine will be the most booed of all, after having “thrown away” the captain’s armband – and Pablo Marì “boasts” the worst defence in Serie A (12-26), where they are coming off 3 consecutive defeats!
Furthermore, they have won only once in the last 12 official matches (1-3-8) and will be forced to play the Conference play-offs (3-0-3) after their 5th KO in the last 6 matches (1-0-5).
Udinese (16-22), led by former player Zaniolo (trq. 4 goals), who if they continue like this risk taking Kean's place in the World Cup play-offs, beat none other than champions Napoli last Sunday (1-0 at home) and also won their last away match in Serie A (0-2 against Parma, fourth from bottom with 8 points more than Viola)!
In the meantime they had lost 2 games (2-0 against Juve in the Cup and 1-2 at home against Genoa) and strangely they have not drawn for more than 2 months (4-0-5), but they are closer to Europe (-4 from Bologna) than to the red zone (+9 on Hellas).
Finally, Udinese will face two direct competitors (Lazio and Como) in the next two matchdays…just like the moribund Fiorentina (against Parma and Cremonese)!
