Fiorentina and Lazio face each other this Monday (26/2), at 4:45 pm, in the 26th round of the Italian Championship. The game will be played at the Artemio Franchi Stadium, in Florence, and the home team is looking to recover in the competition. With just one victory in the last five matches, Fiorentina has distanced itself from the classification zone for continental competitions – it occupies eighth place and, with 38 points, is trying to find its way back to victory.
The visitors are coming off an away victory over Torino and, with 40 points, they are in seventh place and are also looking to build momentum. As a bonus, a victory will see the team from the Italian capital overtake arch-rivals Roma, who have 41 and occupy sixth place.
How do you get to Fiorentina?
The drop in performance, first of all, hit the group. Fiorentina is 10 points behind fourth-placed Bologna and hopes of returning to the Champions League are slim. However, you can think about the Conference League. It’s possible, with a difference of three to Roma.
Therefore, coach Vicenzo Italiano counts on Alfred Duncan, author of five assists in the competition, so that, after all, the best days can return.
How to get to Lazio
The Roman team needs a victory to return to the classification zone for the Conference League and, thus, aim for positions higher up in the classification.
Despite playing away from home, the team has an undeniably favorable record at their opponent’s home. In the last 10 games, they won seven, drew two and, finally, lost just one.
