Fiorentina vs Hellas Verona Prediction & Betting Tips - Serie A

Prediction published on 17/12/2023, 00:37  by Sridhar in Serie A Predictions

Fiorentina will look to revive their domestic fortunes when they play a relegation-threatened Verona in Serie A this weekend. This matchday 16 will be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence on Sunday. The hosts are 7th in the standings ahead of this round with 24 points while the visitors are 19th with 11 points. Fiorentina are only one point behind top-four and can move up the standings with a positive result here. They are coming off a 1-1 draw in the Conference League that has guaranteed progress as group leaders and extended their unbeaten run to five matches. In the league though, they have struggled in recent times with only two wins, one draw and four losses across their last seven matches. They would be desperate to change that at this venue, as Fiorentina have won their last four home matches in all competitions.

Verona are one point away from safety but with only two points separating four teams from 16th to 19th, there’s a serious fight to avoid the bottom-three places. The visitors can move into safe places with a positive result and some favourable results elsewhere, but need to keep their part of the bargain. That is a challenge as Verona are coming off a 1-1 draw against Lazio, their third stalemate in a row in the league. That has at least temporarily put a stop to losing, as they were defeated in five straight league matches prior. The losing streak continues on the road, as Verona have lost five of their last seven away league matches drawing the other two.
