Great balance in the last seven matches between Fiorentina and Udinese in the championship: three wins on each side and a draw. Furthermore, after the 2-2 draw in the most recent match on January 14th, the Tuscans and Friulians could draw two matches in a row in Serie A for the first time since the period between March 2002 and February 2005 (three in that case).

Since the Viola's return to Serie A (from 2004/05), Udinese is the team against which Fiorentina has achieved the most home victories in the top flight: 16 in 20 games (2N, 2L) and scored the most goals in home matches ( 49).

With the defeat in the most recent match against Bologna, Fiorentina interrupted its record streak of consecutive victories in Serie A: eight like the one between February and April 1960. The Viola have not lost two games in a row in the league since the period between March and last April (against Milan and Juventus in that case).

Fiorentina have remained unbeaten in their last 19 home games in all competitions (13W, 6D), the last defeat at the Franchi dates back to March 30th against Milan in the league – the last time they recorded at least 20 official home games without defeat dates back to the period between February and November 2008 (22 in that case).

After achieving three wins and a draw in their first four Serie A matches, Udinese have lost eight of their last 12 Serie A matches (3W, 1D) – in the period, only Hellas Verona (nine) have recorded more defeats in the top Italian championship.

Fiorentina is the team that has conceded the fewest goals (two) in the second half this season in the top five European leagues.

Only Chelsea (33, before the Conference League round) have scored more goals than Fiorentina (32) in home games this season among teams in Europe's top five leagues in all competitions.

Moise Kean, scorer of nine goals in this championship, could reach double figures in goals in a season for only the second time in his career in the top five European leagues, after 2020/21 (13 goals with PSG). Furthermore, the last Italian Fiorentina player to score 10 goals in a Serie A championship was Federico Chiesa in 2019/20.

Andrea Colpani scored three goals against Udinese in Serie A, against no team has he scored more in the top division (three also against Lecce). Furthermore, although the class of '99 has not yet found the back of the net at the Franchi in this championship, 10 of his 14 goals in Serie A have come in home matches.

Florian Thauvin has scored four goals in 13 appearances this season and is just one shy of his record for goals in a Serie A season: five goals in 2023/24 but in 29 games.
