Fiorentina vs Verona: Viola Seeking Home Spark Amidst Struggles

Fiorentina host Verona in Serie A, with both sides struggling for consistent wins. The Viola have been particularly poor at home this season, while Verona's away form offers little to cheer about. This fixture presents a chance for Fiorentina to arrest their slide, though Verona's recent attacking uptick could make it a tricky affair.

Fiorentina's season has been a tale of draws and defeats, with not a single win to their name across 14 league outings. Their overall scoring record of 0.8 goals per game is concerning, but it's their home form that truly stands out for the wrong reasons. At home, they've failed to win in six attempts, averaging just one goal and conceding nearly two. While their recent form shows a slight improvement in shot volume and possession, the last match saw them struggle to break down an opponent, with possession dipping significantly and only one goal to show for their efforts.

Verona find themselves in a similar boat, with just one win all season and a heavy reliance on draws. Their away form is particularly worrying, having failed to secure a victory on the road and losing four of their seven matches. They concede almost two goals per game away from home, a defensive fragility that will be tested by Fiorentina. However, Verona did show a surprising attacking spark in their last outing, netting three goals, though this was against a side that conceded heavily, and their overall away possession remains low.

This match looks set to be a battle of possession versus efficiency. Fiorentina, despite their struggles, tend to hold a slight edge in ball possession, especially at home. They will likely attempt to build attacks patiently, looking to exploit Verona's defensive struggles, particularly their poor away record. Verona, conversely, typically surrender possession, focusing on a more direct approach when they do gain the ball. Their recent uptick in scoring suggests they might look for quick transitions, but their low passing accuracy and possession numbers indicate they may struggle to sustain pressure against a Fiorentina side that, despite its flaws, has shown flashes of competence in build-up play.

Despite Fiorentina's winless run, their home form, while poor, has seen them draw more often than lose recently. Verona's away form is dire, and despite a recent scoring surge, their defensive vulnerabilities are well-documented. The odds favour Fiorentina, aligning with the statistical expectation that they should find a way to win against a struggling Verona side, especially with both teams showing a tendency to concede in recent outings.

Key points

• Fiorentina remain winless in 14 league games this season.
• Verona have only secured one win all season, with zero away victories.
• Both teams have conceded an average of 1.5+ goals per game across their last three matches.
