Fiorentina

WWWDWD 📈

Fiorentina enter this fixture coming off the back of a 0-0 Serie A stalemate vs Parma.

In that match, Fiorentina managed 57% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. On the other side, Parma got 7 attempts on goal with 3 of them 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.

Celje

LWWWLW

Celje will come into the encounter following a 2-1 PrvaLiga win versus Mura in their last game.

For Celje, the goalscorers were Svit Sešlar (72') and Tamar Svetlin (90').

Showing their fondness for fruitful matches, the back of the net has been hit 22 times in the previous six games in which Celje have taken to the field, giving an average of 3.67 goals per clash. Opposing teams have hit 11 from this total.

📰 Team News: Fiorentina

Looking at personnel, there is just the lone fitness concern for the Fiorentina boss Raffaelle Palladino to be concerned with due to a largely intact group of players. Edoardo Bove (heart problems) won’t play.

In our view, La Viola look set to kick off with a 3-5-2 formation this time with 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 to currently contend with reduced team options. Nejc Ajhmajer (Knee surgery) and Armandas Kucys (Cruciate ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

We’re of the thinking that Grofje seem most likely to make use of a 3-4-3 lineup, giving starts to 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.
