On Sunday, at 19:30, Fiorentina will receive the Lazio visit in a match for the 27th Serie A. The match will take place at the “Artemio Franchi” stadium in Florence.
With only eight wins in the 26 stages so far, that is, on average, a success in more than three matches, Fiorentina can not deliver realistic claims for a UEFA Europa League. Even if the distance from the last European spot is only five points, one achievable, the “violets” have far too many more solid, more homogeneous, mature teams able to fight for this goal. Having an average of 10, all that remains to be done to Pioli’s students this season is to try to put their hand on the cup and make a series of at least decent evolutions until the end of the season.
On the other side, Lazio is on big horses after the last weekend’s final victory in “Derby della Capitale” against Rome (3-0). This aspect, combined with the high moral of the “biancoceles”, is one of the main reasons Lazio is the favorite bookmakers to impose on “Artemio Franchi”. More homogeneous and mature, at least from a defensive point of view, towards Fiorentina, Lazio can be seriously taken into account, including in the fight for the UEFA Champions League in the event of a Sunday night’s success in Florence.
In the last ten direct clashes between the two bands, Lazio imposed seven times, Fiorentina in the other two rows, while a single duel ended in a tie;
The previous direct dispute took place in the tour, when Lazio imposed the limit on “Olimpico”, score 1-0;
The last success of the “violets” in front of the lashes dates from May 2017, from a 3-2 on “Artemio Franchi”;
Probable teams:
Fiorentina (4-3-2-1): Lafont-Milenkovic, Pezzella, Vitor Hugo, Biraghi- Benassi, Fernandes, Veretout-Chiesa, Gerson-Muriel
Lazio (3-5-2): Proto-Bastos, Acerbi, Radu-Romulo, Milinkovic-Savic, Leiva, Luis Alberto, Durmisi- Correa, Immobile
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. The most logical and logical scenario is that of both sides, but in order to avoid complications, we will prefer to look at a spectacular outcome, no matter where the goal will come, being convinced that they will appear without emotion.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,58
