Fiorentina vs Cukaricki Prediction

Fiorentina were beaten finalists in last season's Conference League and La Viola are expected to be among the contenders once again. They were tipped to easily scale through their group but things have not gone to plan for Vincenzo Italiano's side so far.

They need a win here to get back on track and will fancy their chances against last-placed underdogs Cukaricki. The Serbians have been on a poor run of form, particularly on their travels. However, Fiorentina will be wary of being too confident, having lost against Empoli in a game they were expected to win on Monday.

Nevertheless, the hosts have enough firepower in their ranks and we are tipping them to claim maximum points in a comfortable win.

Prediction: Fiorentina 3-1 Cukaricki
