📋 Team News: Venezia

Richie Sagrado (muscular problems) and Michael Svoboda (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Venezia boss Eusebio Di Francesco.

In all likelihood, Arancioneroverdi could use the 3-5-1-1 system in the match featuring Ionut Andrei Radu, Fali Cande, Jay Idzes, Joel Schingtienne, Alessio Zerbin, Issa Doumbia, H. N. Caviglia, Gianluca Busio, Ridgeciano Haps, John Yeboah and Christian Gytkjaer.

📋 Team News: Fiorentina

Fiorentina manager Raffaelle Palladino has to currently contend with reduced team options. Edoardo Bove (heart problems) and Danilo Cataldi (muscular problems) are those who can’t be considered.

It’s our belief that La Viola seem likely to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, starting the game with David De Gea, Marin Pongracic, Pablo Mari, Luca Ranieri, Dodo, Cher Ndour, Amir Richardson, Nicolo Fagioli, Robin Gosens, Albert Gudmundsson and Lucas Beltran.

💡 Prediction

We’re envisaging that Venezia may well find it hard to score against this Fiorentina lineup who we think will likely score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 0-1 win for Fiorentina at the end of the match.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
