Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Fiorentina
Match Time & Date:
06/03/2022
15:00
Prediction: 1-0
Verona
Following an unlucky defeat to Sassuolo, Fiorentina will be aiming to give fans some cheer when they host Verona to their Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday afternoon. The Viola want to keep their Europa League hopes alive, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Verona. Midfielder Giacomo Bonaventura is banned for the match, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Mastini, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels. Verona outplayed Venezia 3-1 in the “City of Love” at the weekend, but given their anything but good away record (3-5-5), we believe that home win should be considered. All Dawidowicz, Barak, Retsos, Praszelik, and Pandur are sidelined with injuries, while Cancellieri is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Erick Pulgar):
Eric Pulgar is a Chilean international who started his senior career at Deportes Antofagasta. Pulgar is a 186-cm-tall midfielder, who is capable of playing as a centre back as well and he is well known for his speed. After making 38 league appearances for the club he joined fellow Chilean outfit Universidad Catolica in 2014.
The deal was confirmed on 28 June, 2014 and the Chilean defender joined los Cruzados for a fee of $ 500 000. In 2015 he decided to move to Europe and he signed a contract with Bologna for an undisclosed fee. The deal was sealed on 20 August. Erick Pulgar represented Chile at the 2016 Copa America, but he made no more than one appearance for La Roja at the tournament in USA.
He came on as a substitute to replace injured midfielder Pablo Hernandez in a 2-0 win over Colombia. It is well known that Chile won the 2016 Copa America, beating star-studded Argentina in the title game.
Highlighted Team (Verona):
Founded back in 1903, Hellas Verona are a professional football club that compete in the Italian Serie A. The “Mastini” are well known for their yellow and blue jerseys and they welcome their opponents at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi. Hellas Verona share rivalry with Chievo Verona and the two local rivals face each other in the “Derby della Scala”.
The first derby of Verona was played on November 18, 2001, with Hellas Verona emerging triumphant (3-2). In 1985 the Mastini won their first and only Scudetto, with the team finishing the season in top position in the Serie A standings, four points clear of second-placed Torino. The likes of Preben Elkjaer, Giuseppe Calderisi, Hans-Peter Briegel, Pietro Fanna and Antonio Di Gennaro led Hellas Verona to the historical success.
However, the most famous footballer who played for Verona is Romania international Adrian Mutu, who scored 16 goals in 57 appearances in the league for the Stadio Marc’ Antonio Bentegodi outfit. Verona will compete in the Italian top flight in the 2017/2018 season as they finished the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign in second position in the table.
