Serie A: Torino-Fiorentina on the pitch at 3pm Fiorentina is preparing for the away match against Torino, scheduled for tomorrow at 15.
Fiorentina: Towards the away match with Torino
Fiorentina is preparing for the away match against Torino, tomorrow at 15:00, with the aim of consolidating their position in the upper echelons of the table and extending the positive streak that has lasted since mid-September. On that occasion, the team suffered a defeat by 3-2 against Atalanta, which to date remains the only one of the season.
Recent Results
The results achieved in recent weeks are impressive: Fiorentina has obtained six wins in a row, of which four consecutive in the league. The victories against Milan and Roma at the Franchi, together with those against Lecce and Genoa away from home, reward the work of coach Raffaele Palladino. The team has found an identity and a defensive compactness thanks to the change of module and an increasingly decisive De Gea. Furthermore, the consistency of performance has demonstrated Fiorentina’s progress.
The Next Challenge
The match against Torino represents another important test for the Viola. Although Torino is going through a difficult moment, no one in the Viola clan trusts them. The away game at home to the Granata is historically treacherous; for this reason, the watchword is stay focused and do not let your guard down.
Palladino can breathe a sigh of relief: compared to the match against Genoa, Moise Kean is back among the players called up, having rested on Thursday to recover from the after-effects of a sprained left ankle. After scoring a brace against Roma, his return is comforting news for Fiorentina.
Uncertainties in Training
The Viola coach will decide only at the last moment whether to use Kean from the start or during the match. If he is not a starter, Kouamé or Beltran could replace him. Furthermore, Palladino will have to do without Gudmudsson and Pongracic, as well as Cataldi, who has not recovered from a muscle problem. Mandragora could return to the starting lineup after playing a portion of the match against Genoa.
Other questions concern the defense: Comuzzo, Ranieri and Quarta are in the running for two places. On the outside lanes, Sottil is in the running with Bove in case the latter is moved forward again after his use in the recent match in midfield.
