In that match, Fiorentina had 57% possession and 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. At the other end, Parma got 7 shots on goal with 3 on target.

Their more recent scorelines show that much solidity has been shown by the Fiorentina backline. Fiorentina have been mean at the back, with the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their previous six outings standing at 4. We will have to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained in this game.

📰 Team News: Fiorentina

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Fiorentina gaffer Raffaelle Palladino to contend with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Edoardo Bove (heart problems) is out of contention.

In our view, La Viola should use a 3-5-2 system featuring David De Gea, Marin Pongracic, Pietro Comuzzo, Luca Ranieri, Michael Folorunsho, Rolando Mandragora, Danilo Cataldi, Yacine Adli, Fabiano Parisi, Lucas Beltran and Moise Kean.

📰 Team News: Celje

Celje boss Albert Riera has a number of players out of action. Nejc Ajhmajer (Knee surgery) and Armandas Kucys (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We reckon that Grofje appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 formation using Ricardo Silva, Juanjo Nieto, Damjan Vuklisevic, Klemen Nemanic, Aljosa Matko, Mark Zabukovnik, Tamar Svetlin, Zan Karnicnik, L. Delaurier-Chaubet, Svit Seslar and Mario Kvesic.

⚡ Prediction

In this match, Fiorentina will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

In contrast, Celje might well find it a difficult task getting on the scoresheet but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once here.

We’re tipping a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Fiorentina at the end of the 90 minutes.
