Fiorentina – Violets to Make Home Advantage Count?
Fiorentina are having a solid season in Serie A. They are just outside of the European places in ninth at present after amassing 23 points from 17 games. Overall, the Tuscany team have won six, lost six and drawn five in the league.
They had a tough start to their season, but Vincenzo Italiano’s men have turned a corner of late. Fiorentina have picked up four wins from their last six Serie A matches, seeing off Spezia, Sampdoria, Salernitana and Sassuolo Calcio
The Violets warmed up for this Coppa Italia Round of 16 match with a 2-1 league victory over Sassuolo at the Stadio Artemio Franchi last weekend. Nicolas Gonzalez won the points at the death with an injury-time penalty.
Fiorentina have won the Coppa Italia six times, with the last of those successes coming in 2001. After years without silverware, can the Purples lift the Coppa Italia trophy this season? Check out our Fiorentina game prediction for this one.
Fiorentina Projected Lineup: Terracciano, Venuti, Milenkovic, Igor, Biraghi, Bianco, Duncan, Bonaventura, Ikone, Cabral, Kouame.
Fiorentina Injuries: Sottil, Mandragora.
Sampdoria – Another Tough Defeat for Struggling La Samp?
Sampdoria survived the drop last season, finishing the 2021-22 campaign in 15th spot. However, they are finding it tough going again in Italy’s top flight, as La Samp are second from bottom with a mere nine points to their name.
After 17 games, Sampdoria have been woeful, winning two and scoring just eight goals. Serie B is staring them in the face, as the Genoa-based club have drawn three and lost 12 of their other 15, conceding a whopping 30 goals in the process. In truth, the Sampdoria stats this season are very poor.
Despite their league woes, Sampdoria have managed to claim two wins in the Coppa Italia this term. In game one back in August, a Abdelhamid Sabiri penalty was enough for a 1-0 home victory over Reggina. They then beat Ascoli 9-8 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.
La Samp have been Coppa Italia winners four times and runners-up on three occasions. They would love another good run in the cup, but staying in Serie A is the priority. Read on for our Fiorentina vs Sampdoria prediction and soccer picks in this Coppa Italia fixture.
Sampdoria Projected Lineup: Audero, Murillo, Nuytinck, Murru, Leris, Rincon, Vieira, Augello, Verre, Gabbiadini, Lammers.
Sampdoria Injuries: De Luca, Pussetto, Conti.
Fiorentina vs. Sampdoria Pick and Prediction
These two sides met recently, with Fiorentina running out comfortable winners in a league affair at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Giacomo Bonaventura opened the scoring early on, and Nikola Milenkovic added a second after the break.
The Purples also won by two goals when the teams last squared off in Florence. We like the look of +138 for Fiorentina to win by a -1 handicap margin once again.
Including UEFA Europa League Conference games, Fiorentina have secured six wins from their last eight. Two of those victories have come with clean sheets, including against Sampdoria in the November meeting.
We are backing the home side to stop struggling Sampdoria from scoring once again this Thursday. You can get +125 for Fiorentina to win to nil.
