Hellas Verona
The home team suffered a major personnel blowout with several key players absent. A. Bella-Kotchap is out with a thigh injury, S. Lovric has a muscle problem, and S. Serdar has a knee injury. D. Bradaric's availability remains uncertain due to an unrecovered muscle injury.
Fiorentina
The visiting team also lacked their strongest lineup as T. Lamptey was definitely out due to a knee injury. A number of other players were doubtful, including Dodo (thigh injury), N. Fortini (back injury), L. Lezzerini, R. Mandragora (calf injuries), and M. Solomon (muscle injury).
Expert opinion
Based on current form and statistics, Fiorentina are considered the favorites with a 45% chance of winning, while the probability of a draw is also 45%. Hellas Verona have only a 10% chance of causing an upset at home.
Fiorentina's counter-attacking style of play could be effective against Verona's shaky defense. Experts predict the match could end in a draw or a narrow victory for the away team.
