Fiorentina - DDWWLW
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Fiorentina gaffer Vincenzo Italiano to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Rolando Mandragora (unknown injury) won’t play.
In our view, La Viola should make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this game with Pietro Terracciano, Michael Kayode, Nikola Milenkovic, L. Martinez Quarta, Cristiano Biraghi, Arthur, Alfred Duncan, Nicolas Gonzalez, Giacomo Bonaventura, Christian Kouame and Andrea Belotti.
Fiorentina will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following a 5-1 Serie A triumph over Sassuolo.
In that game, Fiorentina managed 67% possession and 22 shots at goal with 10 of them on target. For Fiorentina, goals were scored by Riccardo Sottil (17'), Lucas Martínez Quarta (54'), Nicólas González (58', 66') and Antonín Barák (62'). On the other side, Sassuolo had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. Kristian Thorstvedt (57') scored for Sassuolo.
Under three goals per game were recorded in 5 of the last 6 fixtures where Fiorentina have been involved. Breaking down the goal attribution during this period, opposing sides scored an aggregate of 5 and Fiorentina totted up 7. Historical results aside, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend shall continue on here in this game.
Fiorentina possible starting lineup:
Terracciano; Kayode, Milenkovic, Martinez, Biraghi; Arthur, Duncan; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Kouame; Belotti
Club Brugge - WWWWWW
Due to a completely healthy squad available for selection, the Club Brugge manager Nicky Hayen does not have any fitness concerns to report ahead of this match.
We are inclined to think that Blauw-Zwart seem most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 formation using Nordin Jackers, Kyriani Sabbe, Joel Ordonez, Eder Alvarez, Bjorn Meijer, Hugo Vetlesen, Raphael Onyedika, Hans Vanaken, Michal Skoras, Thiago Rodrigues and Antonio Nusa.
Club Brugge will go into the match following on from a 0-3 First Division A - Play-Offs win to defeat KRC Genk in their previous outing.
In that match, Club Brugge had 43% possession and 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Club Brugge, the scorers were Kyriani Sabbe (38'), Hugo Vetlesen (67') and Igor Thiago (71'). Genk had 14 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target.
A tendency of at least one side getting a clean sheet in games featuring Club Brugge has been evident in recent matches. Examining their last 6 games shows that it’s occurred 5 times. In these clashes, their opponents have managed a goal tally of 1 while Club Brugge have scored 15.
Club Brugge possible starting lineup:
Jackers; Sabbe, Ordonez, Alvarez, Meijer; Vetlesen, Onyedika, Vanaken; Skoras, Thiago, Nusa
