My Prediction
Fiorentina by 2Ah, the sweet nectar of Serie A: Hellas Verona versus Fiorentina. And boy, hasn't Fiorentina drawn the long straw with their goalkeeper, David De Gea, defending their posts? 7.00 rating and 15 saves, not too shabby at all. Hellas Verona is parrying suit with their guy between the posts, Lorenzo Montipò, at a 6.80 rating with 7 saves.
On to the elite troop marching on the field, Fiorentina regales us with the talents of Luca Ranieri, Moise Kean, and Yacine Adli. Any man who knows which way to boot a ball would be envious of these lads. Ranieri and Adli, both on a 7 rating and Kean, biting their heels, makes you think the grass is greener on Fiorentina’s side.
In the opposing camp, however, Hellas Verona isn't taking this lying down. With Grīgorīs Kastanos and Diego Coppola marching their colors, they do hold a somewhat sharp, albeit smaller, spear. But let's not get carried away, folks. Goal scoring has been about as rare as a dry-eyed mother at a wedding for these chaps.
Taking a time travel, past contests between the two dance partners suggest a leaned preference toward Fiorentina, out of the last four outings, they've tripped the light fantastic three times against Hellas Verona's once.
Adding to this nose-wrinkling potpourri of data, the regular season records pulse in same wavelengths. Fiorentina showing a truly competitive 12-6-7 while Hellas Verona paints a lackluster image with a 7-2-16 record.
Recent results? Ah, I see you want me to keep twisting that knife. Fiorentina have suffered a couple of recent setbacks but, overall, seems like they've been coming out on top, while Hellas Verona, bless their soul, has been having about as much luck as a snowball's chance in, well, you know where.
So, without drumming it out any longer, let’s descend from the fence.
