Fiorentina's Relegation Battle: Can Kean & Gudmundsson Turn Tide?

Fiorentina faces a critical Serie A encounter against Udinese at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, with Moise Kean and Albert Gudmundsson leading the line in a desperate search for victory. La Viola's season has been dismal, marked by a sole victory in the Conference League, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the Serie A table with a mere six points from 15 games. Their last league outing was a 2-1 defeat in a crucial relegation battle against Hellas Verona, followed by a 1-0 loss to Lausanne in European competition.

In contrast, Udinese enters this fixture buoyed by an impressive 1-0 triumph over reigning Serie A champions Napoli the previous weekend. This victory positions them 11th in the league standings ahead of Sunday's kickoff. A win would comfortably see them ascend into the top half of the table, highlighting the contrasting fortunes of the two clubs.
