Prediction: 1-0
Sampdoria
Fiorentina and Sampdoria, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Serie A standings, face each other at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday afternoon. The Viola suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to Parma in their last home game in the national championship, but following a goalless draw with Genoa at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, they defeated Torino on the road in the Coppa Italia. Fiorentina aim to move a little closer to the Europa League berth and we are positive that they are going to leave their hearts on the field in Sunday’s football game against Sampdoria. La Samp, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 loss to Juventus in Turin in their last game in 2018 and seeing that they failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Milan in the Italian Cup at the weekend, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.

Highlighted Player (Alban Lafont):
Alban Lafont is a French goalkeeper who plays for Ligue 1 side Toulouse. Born in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Lafont joined AS Lattoise youth school at the age of nine and he stayed at the academy until 2014 when he moved to Toulouse.
The 193-cm-tall goalkeeper has established himself as a first-choice goalkeeper at Toulouse and it has to be noted that he made 36 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 season, keeping 10 clean sheets in the process. Due to his dual citizenship, Alban Lafont is eligible to represent both Burkina Faso and France on international stage, but he has yet to play for the African team.
Alban Lafont represented les Tricolores at youth level and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of the talented shoot-stopper who was born on January 23, 1999. The rising star has a contract with Toulouse which expires on June 30, 2020.
