Full Analysis

Stadio Artemio Franchi plays host to Fiorentina versus Udinese in Serie A, Regular Season - 23. Kick-off: Sunday 7 February 2027 at 17:30 UTC.

Form & Momentum

Fiorentina have collected 0.80 PPG across 10 Serie A outings this season: 2W 2D 6L. Last five: L L L D W. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 2.30 conceded. However, 2.30 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches — an extremely high rate that makes BTTS Yes a well-supported standalone angle from their form alone. This season is still relatively young for Fiorentina, so this record blends games from this season and last.

At home at Stadio Artemio Franchi, Fiorentina have gone 1W 6D 3L this season (10 games, 0.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.80 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.

Udinese (all games): 1W 1D 8L across 10 Serie A outings this term — 0.40 points per game. Last five: L L D L L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 2.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. Conceding 2.40 per game is a high rate — their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed regularly this season. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Udinese, so this record blends games from this season and last.

On the road, Udinese have gone 4W 2D 4L from 10 away fixtures this term (1.40 PPG). They are averaging 1.80 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. 4 clean sheets from 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Their away PPG of 1.40 exceeds their overall 0.40 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.

A near-identical PPG reading — 0.80 for Fiorentina, 0.40 for Udinese — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.

H2H Analysis

Neither side has dominated this fixture. The last 10 head-to-head meetings have produced 5 wins for Fiorentina, 4 for Udinese and 1 draws — an even split that leaves the H2H largely neutral as a betting input.

These two sides have produced goals at a consistent rate historically, averaging 3.1 per game across 10 meetings. That scoring profile provides genuine support for the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent clash, on 2 Mar 2026, ended 0–3 with Udinese winning.

With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.1 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.

Trading Data

Fiorentina goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (48 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 67% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games).

Udinese goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (48 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 78% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 58% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Fiorentina 62% versus Udinese 48%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Fiorentina 58% | Udinese 50%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Fiorentina 1.40 xG and Udinese 1.68 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Fiorentina attack 0.835 / defence 1.143 | Udinese attack 0.976 / defence 1.100. League average goals — home 1.522 / away 1.503. Data: 48 Fiorentina games / 48 Udinese games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Fiorentina 32% | Draw 24% | Udinese 44%. Fair-value odds: Fiorentina 3.12 | Draw 4.17 | Udinese 2.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 24% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.40 / 1.68) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Udinese at 44% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 24% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Udinese if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 3.08 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — strong conviction, supported by form averaging 2.7 goals per game and H2H averaging 3.1 goals per meeting.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Fiorentina 60% | Udinese 50% BTTS from recent games.

The outsider holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects.
