Fiorentina vs Carpi Betting Tips

Fiorentina were held to a 0-0 draw by Genoa at the weekend, and generally, inconsistency has just crept into the club’s play after a superb start to the season. Perhaps it was always expected from a team that relies on a faster paced game and arguably has a thinner squad than some of its rivals. The draw with Genoa follows a stretch of games where Fiorentina suffered a back-to-back losses to Lazio and AC Milan, and a win against Torino. Their upcoming stretch of games, which started with Genoa, and includes Wednesday’s clash with Carpi and a game against Bologna.

Carpi will be looking to keep up their current stretch of positive form. They’re unbeaten in three games with a 2-1 win over Sampdoria followed by back-to-back draws with Inter Milan and Palermo. They still need to keep picking up points though if they want to make serious inroads into the four-point gap at the bottom of the table.

Head-to-Head

Fiorentina edged the previous match-up between the two sides this season securing a 1-0 away win, the two teams also faced in Coppa Italia action, where Carpi secured a shock win in December.

Team News

Carpi are missing a few of their regular bench players, which is testing the depth of this squad, while important defender Gaetano Letizia is likely to miss Wednesday’s action.

For Fiorentina, defender Marcos Alonso and midfielder Milan Badelj are set to miss out on Wednesday. For the most part, the squad remains in good health.

Betting Tip Reason

We don’t trust Fiorentina’s consistency, but we do feel that they are due something of a statement performance. They’ve got some of the most potent attacking players in Serie A and they should be good enough to expose some of the questionable defensive qualities possessed by Carpi. The comfortable Asian Handicap win is a good bet, especially coming in with decimal odds at 2.075.
