- Competition: Serie A
- Date: 25th May 2025
- Kick-off: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CEST
- Venue: Stadio Friuli
This Sunday marks the first game to be held at the Stadio Friuli since it was announced that the stadium would host the 2025 Super Cup final.
The hosts are looking to end their 2024-25 campaign on a high, while Fiorentina need a win to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for the Conference League alive. Udinese go into this game after successive defeats after losing 4-1 on aggregate to Juventus and Monza in their last two matches. Having also failed to win all their last four games at this stadium while failing to score on three occasions, Sunday could be another difficult evening for I Bianconeri.
Fiorentina meanwhile beat fellow European football chasers Bologna 3-2 last weekend to extend their unbeaten home run in the league to six games. That victory took La Viola to within three points of sixth-place Lazio, meaning they must beat Udinese by at least three goals on Sunday and hope the other result go their way.
Udinese vs Fiorentina Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Scoring goals has been a major issue for Udinese in recent weeks, especially at this ground. The White and Blacks boast just one goal from their last two games and have scored only twice in their last five matches here.
Meetings between Udinese and Fiorentina at this stadium also tend not to be entertaining. The last seven meetings have all ended with under 2.5 goals, and I expect a similar outcome on Sunday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Udinese vs Fiorentina prediction: 0-2

Udinese team news
Defender Hassane Kamara is doubtful for Udinese this weekend, having been forced off after 29 minutes in last weekend's defeat to Juventus.
Isaak Touré, Jaka Bijol, Martín Payero and Iker Bravo missed that game due to injuries and Sunday’s game will also come too soon for the trio.

Fiorentina team news
Edoardo Bove has missed the last 33 games due to a heart problem, and the trip to Stadio Friuli will come too soon for the midfielder.
Fiorentina’s injury list also includes Danilo Cataldi, who has been out since May with a muscle injury.
Moise Kean scored his 18th league goal for the campaign last time out and should lead the line for the Violets on Sunday evening.
