Our prediction for this Serie A match:
After holding Benevento to a draw, Crotone will be aiming to record their only seventh win of the season when they take on Fiorentina in the last round. The Rossoblu failed to secure the Serie A survival, but, no doubt, they want to finish the process above Parma, who are stuck at the bottom. Both Golemic and Magallan are banned for the hosts, while Reca, Di Carmine, Eduardo Henrique, and Cuomo are all out of contention with injuries.
The Viola, on the other hand, head into the last match of the season with the lack of motivation. Fiorentina have already secured the elite division survival, but given Dusan Vlahovic’s brilliant form, a high-scoring affair is on the cards at Stadio Ezio Scida. Keep in mind that both Dragowski and Pezzella are banned for the match when it comes to away team’s absentees.
