Hellas Verona vs Fiorentina - 22/12/2021
3870
Fiorentina go into Serie A matchday 19 in sixth place. The Viola are level on points with fourth-place Roma with 31 points. However, Fiorentina are behind the Giallorossi due to goal difference.
Coach Vincenzo Italiano could lead the Viola into fifth place with a victory over Hellas Verona on Wednesday coupled with Roma dropping points versus Sampdoria. Hellas Verona are 13th in Serie A and are on a run of poor form.
The Gialloblu are on a two-match losing streak having lost to Atalanta and Torino in consecutive matches. Coach Igor Tudor’s team is 13 points ahead of the relegation zone going into the midweek fixture with Fiorentina. Relegation is of no worry at the moment for Hellas Verona.
Fiorentina picked up 13 points from the last 18 points available in Serie A. They posted a +7-goal difference across those six fixtures. The Viola have struggled at times on the road this term. Italiano’s team has posted an away record of 4W-0D-5L.
Hellas Verona took seven points from the last 18 points available to them in Serie A. The Gialloblu were –2 in goal difference across those six fixtures. Tudor’s team has been good at home this term with 16 points taken from 21 on offer.
Sixteen of Hellas Verona’s 23 points have been collected at the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium. Although the Gialloblu are not in great form ahead of matchday 19, they are just eight points off of the top five.
Tudor has four players on the Hellas Verona injury list. Midfielder Pawel Dawidowicz is ruled out of the match due to an ACL injury.
Koray Gunter, Nikola Kalinic, and Gianluca Frabotta are all three major doubts due to their injury problems. Hellas Verona will be without the services of Giangiacomo Magnani and Federico Ceccherini due to suspensions.
Italiano will be without midfielder Erick Pulgar until February following an Achilles tendon. Goalkeeper Drągowski is a doubt due to a muscle injury. Defender Cristiano Biraghi is suspended for the fixture.
Fiorentina are unbeaten in three straight matches versus Hellas Verona. Only one of those matches ended in a win for Fiorentina, however. The Viola went to Verona and won 2-1 last season. Fiorentina have won seven of the last 13 matches against Hellas Verona in all competitions.
The Viola are on a great run of form and should claim an eighth win in 14 attempts. Like the teams’ match at Verona last season, Fiorentina should claim a 2-1 win versus Hellas on Wednesday night.
