Empoli
There will be fireworks when Fiorentina and Empoli face each other in the Derby Arno on Sunday. The Viola aim to move closer to the Conference League berth and they are seen as hot favourites to win the local derby. Midfielder Andrea Colpani should miss out with injury, while there are no fresh selection worries in the home team.
The Azzurri, on the other hand, continue to struggle and, as a result, their Serie A status is in great danger. Given Empoli’s dreadful winless run in the national championship, home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Liberato Cacace is banned for the Derby Arno. Both Szymon Zurkowski and Nicolas Haas are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while duo Ardian Ismajli – Samuele Perisan will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
