Fiorentina Betting News

Fiorentina battles for the place in Europa League next season and they are pressured by Sampdoria, Genoa and Inter which are all just behind them at the moment. In midweek they suffered heavy defeat from the hands of Sevilla in Europa League semifinal. The reigning champion of that competition defeated them by 5:0 on aggregate and cruised to another final and Fiorentina will now concentrate on Serie A. It seemed that a bad series of results was behind them, since they had two victories in a row in the league, but after this hammering by Sevilla it is questionable in what morale state and form are they.

Juan Vargas, Micah Richards and Khouma Babacar are injured for this match and Nenad Tomovic is doubtful.

Parma Betting News

Parma was relegated long time ago and they have been facing a bankruptcy for a few months now, so it is really a success they managed to finish the season without having to forfeit matches. If we look at their squad from the beginning of the season they were expected to fight for a Europa League position, but the club underwent a number of financial problems (players didn’t receive wages for several months), driving it straight to the relegation zone. They have one victory, two draws and two defeats in their last five matches in Serie A.

Andy Lila is suspended for the next match, while Fabiano Santacroce and Andrea Costa are doubtful.

Fiorentina vs Parma Match Prediction

Everything except an easy victory for Fiorentina would be a sensation in this match. Although Parma has been playing better in the last two months, Fiorentina is playing at their home and with competitive ambitions, so they should have no problem defeating this opponent.
