Hellas Verona preview: Serie B bound
Hellas Verona begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting nine points adrift of safety with just three wins in 30 matches, having circled the drain of relegation to Serie B for a while now.
The hosts come into this one on the back of a 1-0 loss to Atalanta at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo a couple of weeks ago before the March international break due to a 37th minute winner scored by Davide Zappacosta.
Fiorentina preview: Improving I Viola
Fiorentina come into this one on the back of a 1-1 draw with Internazionale at the Artemio Franchi a couple of weeks ago, with I Viola enjoying a much-improved run of form before the break.
The draw with the seeming champions-elect means that they have now suffered just two defeats in their last 11 matches across all competitions, under the management of Paolo Vanoli.
