Fiorentina take on Empoli in the 34th round of the Italian Serie A on Sunday. With Andrea Colpani a doubtful starter due to a foot injury and Edoardo Bove ruled out with heart issues, this game could take a turn for the home team, who are currently ranked eighth in the league table.
The home team’s sole intention this season is to climb up to either the sixth or seventh position in the table in order to qualify for the UEFA Europa League or UEFA Europa Conference League next season.
Fiorentina are known for their strong possession-based tactics, which could end up helping them build play from behind in this game as well.
Fiorentina’s main concern will be defending, as they have often shifted from man-marking and zonal marking systems without much fluidity. In this game, they will have to be sharp in their defensive duties and not allow Empoli’s attackers a free hand in the attacking third.
Interestingly, Fiorentina have been awarded the most penalties this season (8), which means that they have made regular forays into the opponents’ box.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, who has found a new lease of life at Fiorentina, will be one of their biggest pillars in defence, whereas Moise Kean will be the one to watch out for in attack.
Fiorentina predicted lineup vs Empoli (3-5-2): De Gea; Pongracic, Mari, Ranieri; Dodo, Mandragora, Cataldi, Fagioli, Gosens; Gudmundsson, Kean.
Empoli, who are battling relegation from Serie A this season, will hope that this game yields them at least a point. This might end up giving them the momentum they need to move out of the drop zone, although it currently seems to be extremely far-fetched.
Empoli’s defenders have let them down big time this season, as can be seen by the whopping 52 goals they have conceded so far in the league.
In their last five Serie A matches, Empoli have lost two and won none, which will not do their confidence any good. Additinally, their key player, Liberato Cacace has been suspended for this game, limiting their option in the final third.
Ardan Ismaijli, meanwhile, has been ruled out with a thigh injury, and Christian Kouamé and Szymon Żurkowski have picked up knee issues.
Nicolas Haas, Pietro Pellegri and Saba Sazonov have all been ruled out with ACL injuries. Youssef Maleh too is a doubtful starter for this game.
Empoli predicted lineup vs Fiorentina (3-4-2-1): Seghetti; De Sciglio, Marianucci, Tosto; Gyasi, Henderson, Kovalenko, Pezzella; Solbakken, Fazzini; Colombo.
Bet hereFiorentina have an advantage over their opponents in this game, and we expect them to win or draw it quite comfortably.
They have already defeated Empoli six out of the 18 games recorded between the two teams in the past, with the visiting side being victorious on five occasions. The rest of the seven matches were played out as drawn encounters between the sides.
Interestingly, these two sides met each other twice earlier this season and also played out drawn encounters (0-0 and 2-2). This time around, Fiorentina are expected to have an upper hand and either win or draw.
We expect to see a total of over 2 goals being scored in this game. Fiorentina are known for their prowess in the final third, with their wingers pairing up nicely with their colleagues to play the role of enforcers in front of goal.
As for Empoli, it seems a tad difficult for them to hit back and do so quickly when they get punished by the Fiorentina attackers.
They have also conceded seven goals in their last five matches in the Serie A, and will be intent on pulling their socks up a bit in this match away from home in Florence. This, however, means that Fiorentina will more than likely edge their opponents out in the attacking third too.
