Venezia vs Fiorentina Prediction
Venezia are currently 17th in the league table, and have won only one of their last five league games. They did well to get promoted to the Italian top-flight, but have a tough job in their hands as they seek to remain in Serie A.
Fiorentina, on the other hand, are 5th in the league table. In striker Dusan Vlahovic they have one of the best young players in Serie A, with the Serbian linked with some of the top clubs in Europe this summer. Argentina international Nicolas Gonzalez could prove to be an important buy as well.
Tottenham director of football Fabio Paratici: “I’m not gonna speak about Dusan Vlahovic as he’s under contract with Fiorentina… and also because we’ve Harry Kane who’s the best centre-striker in the world”. ⚪️🏴 @lucabianchin7 #THFC #Spurs
Fiorentina should win here.
Prediction: Venezia 0-2 Fiorentina
