Fiorentina's Relegation Battle: Can Kean & Gudmundsson Turn Tide?
21 Dec
Summary
- Fiorentina sits at the bottom of Serie A with only six points.
- Udinese secured an impressive victory against Napoli last weekend.
- Both teams have confirmed their starting lineups for the match.
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.
The confirmed lineups show Fiorentina making a single change, with Cher Ndour replacing Simon Sohm in midfield, while Udinese remains unchanged following their success against Napoli. The match is scheduled to commence at 17:00 GMT, with both sides fielding strong attacking partnerships.
