Fiorentina vs Verona prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-12-13 14:00.
[p]It is a classic relegation six-pointer between the bottom two teams in Serie A as Fiorentina look for a first league win of the campaign against visitors Verona.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Fiorentina beat Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 on Thursday in the UEFA Conference League, ending a nine-game winless run (D3, L6), but La Viola remain rooted to the bottom of Serie A as the only side in the division yet to win this season (D6, L8). Ominously, just two teams have avoided relegation with six or fewer points after the first 14 rounds of fixtures in the competition since 1994/95. Only two of their points have come at home (L4), and failing to secure victory here would make head coach Paolo Vanoli the first Fiorentina boss since 2002 not to have won any of his first five top-flight matches in charge![/p]
[p]Verona recorded their first league victory of the campaign last weekend when they stunned Atalanta 3-1, ending a 14-game winless run in all competitions (D6, L8). Capitalising on that result to post back-to-back Serie A wins for the first time since March 2024 would be a massive boost to their survival chances, especially as it would come against a direct relegation rival. The Gialloblù’s only other win this term came away from home in the Coppa Italia, but four defeats in their last six matches on the road (D2) does not inspire confidence.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The last four meetings between the sides have seen both teams win twice, but Fiorentina have won their last three home Serie A H2Hs after failing to taste victory in any of the prior six such games (D4, L2).[/p]
