Serie A 2023-2024: Fiorentina-Udinese, the likely lineups
Fiorentina-Udinese, the probable formations
The third match, in order of time, of Sunday’s Serie A will be the one between Fiorentina and Udinese: it will be played at the Artemio Franchi stadium, kickoff is scheduled at 6 p.m. under the orders of referee Pairetto, from the Nichelino (Turin) sation. It's an important match for both the violets and the Friulians, both of whom are coming off a league defeat.
Fiorentina, forò, has on its side the confidence regained after the success in the Coppa Italia against Bologna, which came, however, not without suffering since the shots from the penalty spot were decisive. Italiano relies on Beltran in attack and hopes that behind him Brekalo, Bonaventura and Ikoné can serve him in the best way or go for the goal themselves.
As for Udinese, on the other hand, the Bianconeri are coming off a knockout against Lazio last Sunday, a setback that halted the positive series (two draws and a clear victory against Bologna) that had restored enchantment to an environment that was somewhat in trouble. Cioffi, to win, is banking on Lucca’s attacking presence and Pereyra’s inventions.
In the standings, Fiorentina arrives at Sunday’s match with 33 points, the result of 10 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats, with a better home performance than away (19 points between home walls, 14 away). Udinese, on the other hand, picked up 17 points in its first 19 games, with only 2 wins, 11 games ended in draws and 6 lost. 9 points were obtained at home, 8 away.

FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Biraghi, Martinez Quarta, Milenkovic, Kayode; Duncan, Arthur; Brekalo, Bonaventura; Ikoné; Beltran. All. Italiano.
UDINESE (3-5-1-1): Okoye; Ferreira, Perez, Kristiansen; Ebosele, Payero, Walace, Lovric, Kamara; Pereyra; Lucca. All. Cioffi.
