Prediction: 0-1
Fiorentina
Stadio Olimpico di Torino will host Saturday’s Serie A game between Torino and Fiorentina, the two teams who are eyeing a spot in European competitions. Il Toro aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Lazio and AS Roma, but they face a difficult task against the Viola, who defeated Lazio on Monday evening. Fit-again Switzerland international Ricardo Rodriguez is pushing for a start, while all Adrien Tameze, Perr Schuurs, and Alessandro Burongiorno continue to miss out with injuries.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are eager to climb to the Conference League berth and seeing that Torino suffered a dip in form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Vincenzo Italiano’s men. Christian Kouame remains doubtful, while both Oliver Christensen and Gaetano Castrovilli are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team. In the first half of the season Fiorentina defeated Torino thanks to Luca Ranieri’s late goal.
Highlighted Player (Duvan Zapata):
Duvan Zapata was born in Cali, Colombia on 1 April, 1991. The 186-cm-tall attacker started his youth career at America de Cali, playing for the club between 2004 and 2008. In 2008 he made his debut for the first team and three years later he scored his first hat-trick for the Colombian outfit, in a 3-2 win over Deportivo Pereira.
In 2011 he signed a loan deal with Estudiantes and he found the net for the Argentine team on his debut against Belgrano. After scoring 11 goals in 37 appearances for Estudiantes, the Colombian striker joined Napoli in 2013, but he failed to establish himself as a first-choice attacker.
On 22 July, 2015 Zapata joined fellow Serie A team Udinese on loan and it has to be noted that he scored eight goals in 24 league appearances for the Zebrette. Duvan Zapata has 5 caps for Colombia U20 team, but he has yet to make his debut for the senior side.
