Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Fiorentina
Match Time & Date:

03:30 pm
Prediction: 2-0
Chievo Verona
Fiorentina were not into action at the weekend as their match against Sampdoria at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris was postponed. The Viola can’t wait for their Serie A campaign to begin and we predict that they are going to fight tooth and nail against Chievo when the two teams face each other at Stadio Artemio Franchi this weekend. It is well known that Fiorentina produce much better performances at home than on the travels and despite the fact that the Mussi Volanti made life difficult for Juve in their opener, we are tempted to put our money on Stefano Pioli’s troops. Chievo recorded only one win previous 15 away games in the Italian top flight, which is yet another reason why the visitors are likely to return home empty-handed from the trip to Florence. In their last meeting in the Serie A Fiorentina recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Chievo.
