Fiorentina vs Verona prediction 14.12.2025 | Serie A

Fiorentina have been in Serie A since the 2004/05 season. Before the current campaign started, the team from Florence looked good enough to remain a mid-table team. However, after 14 league rounds, they are the only team in the competition without a victory and are seven points behind safety. Their only successes this season have come in the Conference League, most recently with a 2–1 win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday night. That performance was particularly encouraging, as Fiorentina dominated the game in underlying numbers, finishing with an xG of 2.88 compared to Dynamo's 0.57.

After a victory against Dynamo Kyiv, Fiorentina's head coach, Paolo Vanoli, was very satisfied. He said, "We wanted this win at all costs. We have so many things to improve; there are some ghosts inside us, but that's normal. I told the boys to look at what they did on the pitch because that's the attitude we need for the next match, which is a final."

Fiorentina have some problems with missing players. Tariq Lamptey, Jacopo Fazzini, and Robin Gosens are injured and will not play on Sunday afternoon.

Three years in a row, Verona were in the relegation dogfight, but they always avoided relegation to Serie B. The 2025/26 season will be tough as well, as Verona are currently four points behind safety. Verona were 14 consecutive games without a victory until last weekend, when Paolo Zanetti's team won 3-1 at home against Atalanta. That was, without any doubt, the best performance for Verona this season, especially in the attack, as they converted most of their goal-scoring opportunities.

Verona's head coach, Paolo Zanetti, was ecstatic after a big victory in the previous Serie A round. He commented, "The performance was above and beyond, and it had to be against an Atalanta side in great shape. It's not the first time we have played this well, but this evening we were finally effective in converting our chances too."

Domagoj Bradaric, Jean Akpa Akpro, Suat Serdar, and Tomas Suslov are injured and will not travel to Florence this weekend.
