As the final day in the 2024/25 Serie A season approaches, we will soon find out the Scudetto victors, the teams contesting Europe and the teams who will drop down to the second tier. In this game, it is Fiorentina making the trip North-East to the province of Udine to play Udinese, with the visitors seeking a victory to aid hopes of returning to play in the Conference League for a fourth straight season.
Udinese comes into this match knowing they cannot be relegated nor have a chance at European football. Failure to pick up points in this match will see them finish in 12th place for the third time in four seasons. They would be looking at a outside chance of playing in Europe next campaign, if it was not for their recent run of form, which saw the Bianconeri lose seven of their last nine matches.
Fiorentina have had an unfortunate season, always being close to something spectacular but never quite there. They are only five points off the Champions League matches; however, they must win in Udine and hope other results go their way, otherwise they will not even play in Europe next season. They made a deep run in the Conference League for the third season running but again fell short- this time at the semi final stage to Real Betis in extra-time.
As the game approaches, here is everything you need to know about both sides ahead of kick-off.
The Bluenergy Stadium will host its last match of the Serie A season when Fiorentina travel to Udine on Sunday 25th May.

Udinese Predicted Lineup (3-5-2): Okoye; Solet, Bijol, Kabasele; Zemura, Atta, Karlstrom, Zarraga, Ehizibue; Davis, Lucca.
Kosta Runjaic will be without many first team players for this final match. Sandi Lovric, Thomas Kristensen, Hassane Kamara, Martin Payero, Florian Thauvin, Toure are all sidelined with Jaka Bijol and Iker Bravo doubts for Sunday.
Although their form has not been great of late, they have only lost three of their past five games- losses away in Turin to both Torino and Juventus sandwiched a poor loss to rock-bottom Monza. They did however manage to hold Coppa Italia victors Bologna to 0-0 and also defeated Cagliari 2-1.
With nothing to play for and also scoring in just two matches in the last seven, Sunday could see a sorry sight for Udinese fans, with the second top scorer in the division visiting the city of Udine.
Fiorentina Predicted Lineup (3-5-2): De Gea; Ranieri, Mari, Pongracic; Gosens, Mandragora, Richardson, Fagioli, Dodo; Kean, Beltran.
Raffaele Palladino does not have as many players sidelined as his counterpart, however Edoardo Bove is out with Albert Guðmundsson, Pierre Comuzzo, and Danilo Catalan are also doubtful.
Fiorentina’s only victory in their last five came in their last outing in a big 3-2 win over Bologna. Their other two league matches ended in defeat in away trips to both Venezia and Roma. They were also defeated in the first leg in Betis 2-1, before drawing the home leg in Florence 2-2.
You cannot help but have Moise Kean on your radar for this game. It is very important Fiorentina win this, and as their star scorer this term, he will be sure to have many chances against a team who have been poor defensively recently and have nothing to play for.
This is a very even head-to-head record, with Fiorentina winning five of their last 10 meetings, with Udinese winning four. Draws come few and far between in this fixture’s recent history.
Recent Meetings:
It is difficult to see Udinese having a chance to win this game, seeing their poor form nd how they have nothing to play for. Having said that, Fiorentina will be all guns blazing from the whistle so the game could be quite open.
