Whispers predicts: Hellas Verona 1-2 Fiorentina
Fiorentina have raised their game since a stuttering start to the year, and we are backing them to overcome a struggling Hellas Verona side, who have yet to record a home victory since December.
Vanoli’s side have collected three wins and two draws from their last five outings, and the bookmakers have them as favourites to prevail this weekend at 1.90.
At 4.10, the odds for a Verona win may tempt risk-takers, given they have won each of their last two home meetings with Fiorentina. Both Teams to Score at 1.95 also appeals, with the visitors failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last seven matches.
A Fiorentina win combined with Both Teams to Score is priced at 4.50 and looks a value bet for this fixture, while the correct score market offers 6.50 on a 2-1 away win.
> 1x2 - Fiorentina to win at 1.90 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS - Yes at 1.95 | Likelihood: Probable
> Correct score - 1-2 at 6.50 | Likelihood: Outsider
