Fiorentina

Thursday's away game against Ferencvarosi had tournament implications for the Violets. If they lost, they would drop to second place in the group and start the Conference League playoffs from the last 32 instead of the last 16. This forced Vincenzo Italiano to field his first team for the game. As a result, Fiorentina was up to the task and did not lose. 1:1 - Luca Ranieri's goal early in the second half was answered late in the game. Fiorentina played their final match of the season on the road against Roma and managed to steal a point from Jose Mourinho's side. 1:1 - the Violets could have won because the Romans finished the game with nine men. The club from Florence is now seventh in the standings, one point outside the Champions League zone.

Verona

Marco Baroni's team is in the relegation zone until the 16th round. Verona occupies the penultimate place and is one point behind the safe 17th line. They secured only two victories from the beginning of the championship.

In the last round, however, Verona held a quality match and took points from Lazio. Verona conceded midway through the first half but came back through Thomas Henry in the 70th minute. Verona now has three draws in a row.

Expert Betting Tips

Verona plays defensively against the big teams, not attacking much. They shouldn't deviate from this style against Fiorentina, as the Violets are a seasoned club - last season's Conference League finalists. Vincenzo Italiano's side won't be at their best as they had a tough European Cup trip to Hungary during the week, but they will likely crack the Blues' defense once or twice. Fiorentina won't reach the TO, so we're backing the home side to win in a low-scoring match.
