Hellas Verona, Fiorentina to renew rivalry in Serie A
Verona and Fiorentina to resume football rivalry
Hellas Verona and ACF Fiorentina are set to renew their rivalry when they face off in Serie A on Sunday. The two clubs have a long and storied history, dating back to the early days of Italian football.
Verona was founded in 1903, while Fiorentina was founded in 1926. The two clubs first met in a competitive match in 1929, and have since played each other over 100 times.
A rivalry renewed
The rivalry between Verona and Fiorentina is one of the most passionate in Italian football. The two clubs are located in close proximity to each other, and their fans are often fiercely loyal.
In recent years, the rivalry has been somewhat dormant, as Verona has spent much of the past decade in Serie B. However, Verona's promotion back to Serie A last season has reignited the rivalry.
A match to watch
The match between Verona and Fiorentina on Sunday is sure to be a passionate affair. Both clubs will be looking to make a statement, and the atmosphere is sure to be electric.
Verona will be looking to continue their good start to the season, while Fiorentina will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing defeat to Juventus last weekend.
The match is also likely to be a tactical battle between the two coaches. Verona coach Igor Tudor is known for his attacking style of play, while Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano is known for his more defensive approach.
Key players to watch
Some of the key players to watch in the match include Verona's Giovanni Simeone and Fiorentina's Dusan Vlahovic.
Simeone is a clinical finisher who has scored 10 goals in 12 Serie A matches this season. Vlahovic is one of the most promising young strikers in Europe, and he has already scored 14 goals in all competitions this season.
Prediction
The match between Verona and Fiorentina is likely to be a close and exciting affair. Verona has the home advantage, but Fiorentina has the better squad.
I predict that Fiorentina will win the match 2-1.
