Verona vs Fiorentina Prediction 23 February 2025
🔊 Can Fiorentina handle one of the contenders in the relegation battle? After a stretch of three fantastic victories, the "Viola" decided to return to their December-January form, suffering two consecutive defeats. Up next is a match against Verona, who this season rarely puts up a fight against stronger opponents. In this situation, we will try to analyze all the details to provide you with an accurate prediction for the 26th round Serie A match, which will take place at the "Marcantonio Bentegodi".
Head-to-Head
In head-to-head matchups, Fiorentina has a significant advantage in results. Over a span of 30 matches, the "Viola" achieved a positive result in 17 instances, while they suffered only 7 defeats. Raffaele Palladino's team did not face serious problems in the first-round game, which took place on November 10. On that occasion, Fiorentina won 3-1 on their home ground thanks to a hat-trick by Moise Kean.
Head-to-head statistics Verona - Fiorentina
Hellas Verona Team Overview
This season, Verona has only performed well in matches against teams that are below them in the standings. Over the last 6 games, the "mastiffs" have earned just 4 points. Acceptable results for them were recorded in clashes with Venezia (1-1) and Monza (2-1), who are the main contenders for relegation from the elite division. Last weekend, Paolo Zanetti's team was powerless in the match against the inconsistent Milan (0-1). With ball possession at 26% and 6 shots towards the opponent's goal, it's difficult to even claim a draw. However, Verona is still in a safe zone, occupying the sixteenth place. Regarding the upcoming match, the coaching staff will not be able to rely on 6 players, including key defender Domagoj Bradarić (accumulation of yellow cards).

ACF Fiorentina Team Overview
Like Verona, Fiorentina has not performed well in their recent games. After a resounding victory over Inter (3-0), all experts claimed that the "Viola" had found a second wind, but this opinion turned out to be wrong. The team showed two frankly weak matches, and in the previous round, they were defeated at home by Como without any chances (0-2). Raffaele Palladino's squad showed a complete lack of attacking activity - 5 shots towards the opponent's goal, 0.25 xG, and 1 created scoring opportunity. Due to these unsatisfactory results, Fiorentina has slipped to sixth place in the league standings, with the gap from the top-4 growing to four points. Regarding the upcoming clash, 4 players will be unable to participate, including Robin Gosens (2+4, accumulation of yellow cards).

⚽️ Goal Prediction
This season, Verona has significantly worsened in defense compared to the previous year. The team has already conceded 54 goals despite participating in only 25 matches. For comparison, last season the "Mastiffs" allowed their opponents to score just 51 goals over 38 rounds. In this situation, the best decision would be to opt for the Fiorentina total goals over 1.5. Especially since Moise Kean has served his one-match suspension and is ready to return to the field.
🚩 Corner Prediction
It's hard to call Verona and Fiorentina big fans of set pieces. Despite their attacking football, the "Violas" are among the worst teams in Serie A for this statistical parameter. Rafaele Palladino's team ranks 16th, approaching the corner flag an average of 4.2 times. Verona isn't far behind, ranking 13th with 4.4 corners. In this situation, we advise considering a bet on total corners under 9.5.
Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers have no doubt that Fiorentina will be the stronger side in the upcoming clash, and our editorial team sees no reason to argue with their opinion. Verona's play this season does not inspire optimism. The team is showing blatantly weak football, making a bunch of crude defensive errors, and often suffering humiliating defeats with a margin of four goals or more. Even Atalanta, who are going through tough times, managed to beat the "Mastiffs" away with a score of 5-0. Verona stays afloat only due to positive results in head-to-heads with direct competitors for survival. Moreover, Raffaele Palladino's squad will be eager to earn three points after losses to Inter (1-2) and Como (0-2). Therefore, our key betting option is a Fiorentina win. We believe the match will end with a score of 1-3.
