Fiorentina vs Chievo Predictions, Betting Tips, & Match Preview

Fiorentina pushed Juventus hard last weekend but the Serie A champions’ quality told in the end when the most expensive signing in Italian football history, Gonzalo Higuain, hit a late winner for Juve.

La Viola had a rotten pre-season, losing five straight games, so morale might well be low in the camp as they prepare to welcome Chievo this weekend.

Arguably the result of the opening round was secured by Chievo, with Valter Birsa on target twice in a 2-0 home win against Inter Milan.

Chievo may not have scored in their last three away games in Serie A, nor in their last three meetings with Fiorentina, but there is a lot to like about Rolando Maran’s side.

While Fiorentina are understandably the favourites here due to their status and prestige, confidence must have been affected by that streak of defeats in pre-season and we’re going to take them on here.

Chievo Double Chance at 5/4 with bet365 is too big a price for a team that beat Inter Milan last weekend to merely avoid defeat and we are happy to offer it as our free betting tip for this Serie A clash.

It does not look as though there will be a lot of entertainment on show here, so we’re going for the 0-0 Draw at 15/2 with bet365 on the correct scores market.
