Verona take on the visitors Fiorentina in the round 24 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, February 27th at Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi (Verona).
Verona were really good under Juric but the Croatian left for Torino. And without him, for the second time, Verona are conducting roughly the same scenario when they try to fix a start failure by changing the coach, whom they put unsuccessfully, to a young specialist from recent football players. Last year, the hero was Tudor, but he also left in the summer for French Marseille. Now, Bocchetti is trying to get the project out of the hole. At first, Salvatore was unsuccessful in the fall. But after the break, the situation changed dramatically, and it became clear that the pause was used with great benefit, fully conducting "work on errors." It is enough to say that they managed to score 12 out of their 17 points precisely in the winter. There were even consecutive victories over Lecce and Salernitana, between which they squeezed 1-1 draws with Udinese and Lazio. And only in the last match The Mastiffs lost 0-1 to Roma.

Fiorentina finally had a strong last season. Moving to Florence, Vincenzo Italiano was able to return an ambitious team to 7th place, i.e., in the zone of European Cups. They also have their successes now. The "Purple" managed to reach the semi-finals of the Italian Cup, even though they did not have such strong opponents there - only Sampdoria and Torino. In addition, the Italians were able to start powerfully in the playoffs of the Conference League, and even crushed the experienced European fighter, Braga, 4-0 in Portugal. But it is not surprising that the current coach is on the verge of dismissal. The fact is that Fiorentina has seriously sagged in Serie A. There were only separate successes, and 1-0 with modest Sassuolo should already be counted among them. Especially since after those 2-1 victories, they managed to score only 2 points in 6 rounds. Moreover, it could have been even less. But last Sunday, thanks to Arthur's goal in the 85th minute, they managed to get a final score of 1-1 - at home, against the modest Empoli! Fortunately, there are enough outsiders, so the real risk of relegation is small.
At the moment, the Violets has a 6-game unbeaten streak in head-to-heads against "Verona", including a 2-0 victory last September at home on the "Artemio Franchi". "La Viola" is considered the favorite in this confrontation, but it is unlikely that they will live up to their status. It is worth considering a bet that "Verona" will not lose at home.
Prediction for the match: Verona to win with 0.0 handicap.
