Florence, Italy (SportsNetwork.com) - With its dreams of reaching the Champions League having all but evaporated, Fiorentina must turn its attention back to securing a Europa League spot, and that task begins on Sunday at home against Udinese.

The Viola has won just two of its last eight games in Serie A, dropping the team 12 points back of third-place Napoli with only seven games remaining.

Fiorentina enters the weekend five points clear of sixth-place Parma, but the club must turn around its recent run of form in order to lock up a place in the Europa League next season.

Following a 2-0 defeat at home against AC Milan, Fiorentina was held to a 0-0 draw by Sampdoria last weekend.

Parma, meanwhile, had a game in hand on Fiorentina until Wednesday, when the club lost 4-2 to Roma.

In order to take advantage of that result, Fiorentina must bounce back and claim three points against an Udinese side that has earned seven points from its last three matches to move comfortably clear of the relegation places.

Inter sits three points back of Fiorentina and brings a three-game winless streak into its contest against Bologna at the San Siro on Saturday.

Bologna has lost three of its last four games and sits only one point above the drop zone, while 18th-place Livorno is unlikely to pick up any ground as the club travels to league-leaders Juventus on Monday.

Roma closed to within eight points of Juve on Wednesday after its win over Parma, and the capital club seeks a sixth successive win in league play when it visits bottom-half side Cagliari.

Chievo and Hellas Verona square off in the Verona derby, Lazio hosts Sampdoria, Atalanta entertains Sassuolo, Torino invades last-place Catania, Napoli takes on Parma and AC Milan meets up with Genoa at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
