Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Fiorentina
Verona and Fiorentina go head to head at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi on day 19 of the new Serie A campaign. The Mastini suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Atalanta and Torino in the previous two league fixtures. Verona are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but beating the in-form Viola is easier said than done. Both Magnani and Ceccherini are banned for the match, while all Kalinic, Frabotta, and Dawidowicz are out of contention with injuries.
Following three consecutive league wins, Fiorentina played out a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo at the weekend, with Serbia rising star Dusan Vlahovic scoring his 16th goal of the season. Vlahovic continues to lead the line for the Viola, while Biraghi is banned for the match. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in the “City of Love” as Verona are tough to beat at home.
