The Serie A returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Udinese lock horns with Fiorentina on Wednesday. Both teams have impressive players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Udinese are currently in 11th place in the Serie A standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The home side edged Monza to an important 2-1 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this year. La Viola held Napoli to a 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this week.
