Brescia vs Fiorentina Predictions

The final game of the weekend in Serie A sees Brescia searching for their first victory of the campaign at their own ground. They’ve played two games at their own stadium this season, losing both. Now they host a Fiorentina side who are moving in the right direction after fighting against the drop last term. Can la Viola continue to move up the table by claiming three points in this trip?

Brescia are narrowly outside the bottom three heading into this weekend, as they are coming off a run of one win in five. The hosts have been hampered by their postponed clash with Sassuolo, which has left them with a game in hand on the sides around them. It’s also left the hosts still searching for a home victory, but can they turn over Fiorentina on Monday to pick up their first three points at the Rigamonti?

Fiorentina spent the end of last season sliding towards the drop zone. They were in terrible form through most of 2019, but they have won their last three games coming into this clash. Fiorentina are now on the up and they went into the weekend in eighth place, just two points shy of the Champions League places. Franck Ribery is at the heart of this young side driving them on, which has given them a balance they lacked last term.

After having earned only two points in eight Serie A away games, Fiorentina have won their last such match; however, they have conceded a goal in each of their last 12 top-flight encounters on the road (their longest such streak since 2010). Their three away trips this season have all seen both teams score, while Fiorentina have only failed to score once this term – a 0-0 draw with Juventus in which they had the majority of the chances and edged the game in terms of xG.

Fiorentina have a lot of goal threat, hitting 1.7 goals per game so far. Meanwhile, Brescia’s two games here have produced a total of 10 goals. The hosts have found the net against Napoli and Juventus in their last two, while they should add to Fiorentina’s long-running streak without a clean sheet. These two sides have seen both teams score in five of their last six meetings – and in 10 of their last 14 clashes too. We are going with both teams to score as our tip for this clash.

Given that Brescia have lost both of their home games this term, we think they will struggle here. They have lost four of their last five matches in Serie A, while Fiorentina are improving their form. The visitors have won their last three games, so we are backing them to edge this one. We are going with a 2-1 victory for the visitors, who are unbeaten in six meetings with Brescia.
