Fiorentina head to the Stadio Bentegodi with eight league matches remaining. Hellas Verona sit perilously close to the relegation zone.

In our Hellas Verona vs Fiorentina: Match Preview, Predictions, Lineups, and Team News we examine form, injuries and likely outcomes. The assessment covers recent results, staff decisions and starting XI options.

Match context

Fiorentina advanced to the Conference League quarter-finals in midweek. They then drew at home to Inter after falling behind inside a minute.

The Viola also recorded a 4-1 win over Cremonese earlier in the month. Despite improvement, they remain within two points of the drop zone.

Recent form

Fiorentina have taken 20 points from 13 league games this calendar year. Nine of those points came during their last five away fixtures.

The visitors have conceded in each of their last 12 top-flight away matches. Their last clean sheet on the road came in September.

Hellas Verona’s plight

Verona lie nine points adrift of safety with eight rounds left. Their schedule includes matches against both Milan clubs, Juventus, Como and Roma.

Interim coach Paolo Sammarco has collected four points from seven games. The side lost 1-0 to Atalanta before the international break.

Defensive troubles

Hellas did not score in their last two outings. They conceded 27 goals in 2026 and only Pisa have a worse overall defensive record.

Team News

Fiorentina may be short at right-back. Both Dodo and Nicolo Fortini are doubts.

Midfielder Rolando Mandragora and reserve goalkeeper Luca Lezzerini remain sidelined. On-loan winger Manor Solomon is also a fitness concern.

Moise Kean should lead Fiorentina’s attack. He scored in his sixth straight appearance for Italy, despite the national team missing the 2026 World Cup.

Kean has five goals against Verona, including his only Serie A hat-trick. He also scored four times at the Bentegodi while on loan eight years ago.

For Verona, Gift Orban netted a brace in the reverse meeting. He is now in a six-game scoring drought.

Amin Sarr and Kieron Bowie provide competition up front. Suat Serdar will miss several months, and Sandi Lovric, Domagoj Bradaric and Armel Bella-Kotchap are doubts.
