Fiorentina (home)
- Fiorentina are winless in seven home Serie A matches in 2025-2026 (2 draws, 5 defeats).
- After a turbulent start to the season, AC Fiorentina appointed Paolo Vanoli as head coach in November 2025 to instill some structure and discipline into the team.
- In his short time at the helm, Vanoli has begun to simplify Fiorentina’s tactics and change their style of play away from the possession-heavy, high-risk football that defined the earlier part of the season.
- Rolando Mandragora, with four Serie A goals from midfield, is the team’s top scorer and an important spark for the struggling hosts.
Udinese (away)
- Udinese have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their seven away games in Serie A.
- In a similar vein to Vanoli, Kosta Runjaic has imposed a clear tactical identity on Udinese since taking over at the start of June 2024.
- Udinese Calcio sit 10th in Serie A with 21 points from 15 games, compared to Fiorentina’s 20th-place return of six points from as many games.
Head-to-Head
Fiorentina have won three of the last five Serie A head-to-head meetings, with Udinese winning one and one draw recorded.
