Fiorentina Team News
The downfall of Fiorentina this season is incredible. A side that was constantly in contention for European spots - after all, they're actively playing the Conference League this season after almost winning it the season before - they are now at the last spot on the table as the only side yet to record a win.
The recent results include a 0:1 home defeat to Lecce, a 2:2 home draw against Genoa, and a visiting 3:1 defeat at Sassuolo in the previous round. Even the coaching change didn't do anything, and by now it wouldn't be too wrong to completely write Fiorentina off, at least until they prove they can beat anyone.
Verona Team News
Verona was also winless until the last round, where they won 3:1 against resurgent Atalanta, which was a huge shock. At least, unlike Fiorentina, Verona always scores at least once and always looks good on the pitch.
Apparently, in the Atalanta game everything went right for Verona, and this is how they usually perform every season. A weak team that can't seem to beat anyone wins big against a huge favourite, just because of variance. Verona always plays on the forward foot and tries to fluently pass the ball around. Sometimes, it works like a charm, once or twice per season.
Probable Lineups
Fiorentina (3-5-2): De Gea - Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri - Dodo, Mandragora, Caviglia, Fagioli, Fortini - Gudmunssson, Kean. Coach Vanioli.
Verona (3-5-2): Montipo - Nunez, Nelsson, Valentini - Belghali, Niassi, Al Musrati, Bernede, Frese - Giovane, Mosquera. Coach Zanetti.
The Betting Market
Fiorentina is installed as a 1.93 favourite, which would mean the bookmakers and the general public believe this is it, this is Fiorentina's chance to finally win. We beg to disagree. Value is on Double Chance Draw or Verona 1.90.
A low-scoring game is expected, as evident from the price of 1.66 on the Under, which leaves 2.10 on the Over. Both Teams To Score: YES is priced at 1.95, and the NO option carries the price of 1.80.
The Betting Verdict
We think Verona will score as they usually do. Fiorentina is so shook up that practically anyone will score against them. On the other hand, Verona can't control a football game and they always concede, too. This means we'll be placing an official bet on Both Teams To Score: YES for 1.95.
