Empoli – Fiorentina : Preview & Prediction
Fiorentina has in its ranks the top scorer of Calcio in the person of Dusan Vlahovic. The 21-year-old Serbian international striker has 10 goals in 13 Serie A days and 4 goals with his selection in the qualifiers for the next World Cup. Vlahovic was the savior of the Viola on the last day as the latter scored a brace in his team’s victory over AC Milan (4-3) this weekend. The number 9 of the Fio is in great shape since the latter posted 5 goals in the last 4 days of the championship and the latter could still strike at Empoli, a formation which has one of the worst defenses (25 goals conceded) in Italy . In the opposing camp, the attacking midfielder of Empoli, Federico Di Francesco returns to form after his injury which deprived him of the trip to Salernitana and the reception of Inter Milan. Returning from injury, the 27-year-old scored on the reception of Genoa (2-2) on Matchday 12 and delivered an interesting performance in Verona without being decisive. Di Francesco has already scored 3 times in 9 league matches played and could shine against Fio.
