ACF Fiorentina
Fiorentina have managed to recover from a slow start in Serie A, achieving two victories and a draw in their last three fixtures. They defeated Atalanta BC 3-2, which angered La Dea boss Gian Piero Gasperini. This success has helped the Viola, who have now secured seven points from nine games, placing them sixth before round seven. Their unbeaten run of four points from six gives them the assurance to secure maximum points. To avoid dropping points, Fiorentina must concede fewer chances and goals, as their current record of 10 conceded outdoes all but Sassuolo in the league’s top 10. The team has an impressive squad, with Nicolas Gonzalez stepping up to the plate this season.
Dodo remains to be an absentee for Fiorentina, due to his ACL injury. Moreover, Mina, Biraghi, Pierozzi, and Castrovlli are also absent here, but will likely return this month.
Cagliari Calcio
Cagliari, managed by experienced manager Ranieri, are visiting Florence this gameweek. The Sardinian club has not been successful in their return to the top flight, losing four out of six games with only two goals scored and nine conceded. Their last match against AC Milan was a shock win, but they are currently in the bottom three. They have been winless in the last five matches against the Viola and have allowed four goals without conceding in their recent two visits to Artemio Franchi. Cagliari have failed to score in their last three games away from home against Fiorentina in the Serie A, a run they last experienced in 1967. They are in need of an immediate resurgence to improve their standing in the top flight.
Cagliari also have list of players unavailable for this match. Jakub Jankto, Gaston Pereiro, Gianluca Lapadula, and Marko Rog remains to be unavailable for Cagliari, until the end of October.
