Fiorentina vs Verona: Football Whispers' Predictions
Two Serie A sides with ambitions of playing European football next season go head-to-head on Sunday. Fiorentina sit one place and 2pts above their guests Verona as things stand, so we're expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes between the two clubs.
Krzysztof Piatek to Score
Polish striker, Krzysztof Piatek, was brought into Fiorentina to replace the goals of Vlahovic who joined Juventus in January. The former AC Milan frontman has started life back in Italy well, netting 5-goals in his first ten games in all competitions for Fiorentina, so you can see why we're backing him to score against Verona this weekend.
BTTS
This is a fixture that has a history of producing goals at both ends of the pitch with five of the last six competitive encounters between Fiorentina and Verona seeing both teams score. Both teams have also found the back of the net in three of Fiorentina's last five outings as well as in four of Verona's last six fixtures, adding further weight to our prediction for Sunday's head-to-head.

Verona will move above Fiorentina if they win
In midweek, Fiorentina played host to Juventus in the 1st leg of their Coppa Italian semi-final. The game itself was tight and tense throughout and appeared to be heading for a goalless draw until stoppage time when Venuti put through his own goal to hand Juve a lead heading into the 2nd leg. A win in Serie A this weekend could take Fiorentina up into the top six, providing results elsewhere go in their favour.
Fiorentina Predicted Lineup – Terracciano, Biraghi, Odriozola, Igor, Milenković, Bonaventura, Saponara, Torreira, Castrovilli, Ikoné & Piątek
Verona's last game was at home to Venezia where the pressure was on the hosts to secure all 3pts. The first half ended goalless but a goal from Simeone in the 54th-minute allowed the home fans to relax. The very same player made it 2-0 9-minutes later and although Venezia pulled a goal back in the 81st-minute, Simeone had the last laugh, scoring his and Verona's third goal 2-minutes from time to ensure the match ball went home with him.
Verona Predicted Lineup – Montipò, Faraoni, Retsos, Šutalo, Coppola, Lazović, Tameze, Barák, Ilić, Caprari & Simeone
Team News
Fiorentina: Giacomo Bonaventura will miss the game due to a suspension.
Verona: Barak, Retsos, Veloso and Pandur are the main injury concerns for the visitors.
