Prediction: 2-2
Fiorentina
All eyes will be on Pancho Arena when Puskas Academy and Fiorentina face each other in a highly-anticipated Conference League qualifier. Puskas Academy did well to hold Fiorentina to a 3-3 draw at Stadio Artemio Franchi, but they do not want to stop now. As Zsolt Hornyak has no fresh injury worries, we are positive that the hosts are going to find the net in Thursday’s encounter.
The Viola, on the other hand, played out a slim goalless draw with Venezia in the Serie A round 2. As Fiorentina are determined to register their first win of the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The good news for the visiting side is that summer signing Marin Pongracic is back from the Serie A ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Christian Kouame):
Christian Kouame is an Ivory Coast international who has been playing for Serie A side Genoa since 2018. Kouame started his youth career at Prato and after ending his loan spells with the likes of Sassuolo and Inter, he returned to Stadio Lungobisenzio.
The 185-cm-tall forward made his professional debut with Prato on September 6, 2015 in a 2-1 loss to Pisa. Christian Kouame started the match, but he was replaced by Alberto Aladje after 66 minutes. The Genoa attacker, though, has yet to earn a call-up for the Ivory Coast national team. He has two caps for the Ivory Coast U23 team, but he is still eyeing his senior team debut.
His main position is centre-forward, but he is used as both left and right winger as well. The Genoa footballer was born in Abijan on December 6, 1997 and he has a contract with the Rossoblu until June 30, 2023.
