Hellas Verona vs. Fiorentina: Preview and betting tips

Monday’s football programme will feature Fiorentina at Hellas Verona. While the home team is fighting for survival, the visitors would like to attack the European Cup for the second time in a row. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Verona have won only one of the last four rounds and continue to stay in the relegation zone. They are currently in 17th position, just two points behind one place better than Spezia. A win in the last home round against Salernitana could be a motivation.

Fiorentina are not much better off, although they celebrated their progression through Braga to the Europa League Conference 8 finals last week. They are now up to 15th in the league, seven points behind the Top 7 guaranteeing European Cups.

Hellas’ key figures

The home side is led by Serbian international and winger Darko Lazovic, author of three goals and five assists. As he is the team’s top scorer with three goals, the management brought in Cyril Ngonge in the winter. He has scored twice in four rounds.

Fiorentina’s key figures

The visitors rely on the productivity of Luka Jovic, with the former Real Madrid player scoring ten times and assisting twice. Czech national team midfielder Antonín Barák has struck five times and assisted one goal since his summer transfer from Hellas.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Hellas, even with their top scorer with three shots to his credit, are not working mainly up front. With 20 shots, it has the league’s fourth-worst attack, scoring more than once in only one of the past six games.

In addition, Fiorentina’s defence is not working well by the standards of the bottom of the table. Only two teams in the second half of the competition have scored fewer times than it (30), and the Violets have received more than one goal in only one of their last four games.

Considering the improved atmosphere in the away camp after the promotion in the Conference League, their well-functioning defence and Hellas’ shooting woes, I think the visitors can win.
