Fiorentina’s 3-0 loss to Udinese and Pisa’s 1-0 home defeat leave both clubs in deep relegation trouble — punters might back relegation markets (Pisa/Verona) or play unders on low-scoring fixtures; Bologna’s momentum and Udinese’s defensive edge suggest value on away/spread bets and short-term props for their attacks.
Udinese 3-0 Fiorentina — Revival halted in decisive win
In Udine, Udinese struck early when Christian Kabasele nodded in a Nicolo Zaniolo corner after 10 minutes. The home side doubled its lead in the second half when Kelman Davis converted from the penalty spot. Adam Buksa added a late third in stoppage time to seal a comprehensive 3-0 victory and end Fiorentina’s bid for a third straight win this season.
League impact and standings
The defeat leaves Fiorentina fifth from bottom, level on points with Cremonese and Lecce, who occupy the third relegation place. The result ramps up pressure in the lower half of the table and tightens the scramble for survival.
Bologna 1-0 Pisa — Odgaard stuns home fans with 90th-minute strike
Pisa hosted Bologna but could not find a breakthrough. Despite having three shots on target to Bologna’s one, Pisa were undone in the 90th minute when Jens Odgaard unleashed a long-range effort from around 25 meters that found the net and broke home supporters’ hearts.
Consequences for Pisa and Bologna
Pisa remain joint bottom with Verona and sit nine points adrift of safety with 11 matches to play. Bologna’s win—its third consecutive—moves the club above Sassuolo into ninth place and extends a long unbeaten home run against Pisa that dates back to February 1985.
Relegation picture and betting notes
With Pisa and Verona level at the foot of the table and nine points from safety, relegation markets look more active; value may be found on long-term relegation bets for those sides.
Deflected free kick steers Udinese to win over Roma in Serie A
Recent results also suggest backing under 2.5 goals in matches involving the strugglers, while short-term bets on Bologna’s momentum or Udinese’s defensive solidity could offer attractive odds for punters.
