Match Time & Date:

11:30
Prediction: 2-0
Empoli
There will be fireworks when Fiorentina and Empoli face each other in the local derby on Matchday 31. Following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Bologna, the Viola did well to hold Inter to a draw in their last league match. Fiorentina continue life without Serbia rising star Dusan Vlahovic, while his replacement Piatek will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. The Gli Azzurri, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table.
Empoli have little to play for in the season finale, and given Fiorentina’s signs of improvement, home win should be considered. Parisi misses the match through suspension, while both Marchizza and Haas are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting side. In their last meeting at Stadio Artemio Franchi Fiorentina defeated Empoli 3-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
