Fiorentina 2-1

Reason for tip

Fiorentina won 13 of their 19 home Serie A games last season, a record bettered only by title challengers Inter. Meanwhile, Fiorentina’s last four competitive matches in Florence have contained a total of 13 goals, and that run has taken in wins over Juventus and Roma.

Viola return to European stage

Fiorentina last played in a major European competition when they exited the 2016-17 Europa League to Borussia Monchengladbach in the round of 32, but a play-off with Eredivisie outfit FC Twente is all that lies between Vincenzo Italiano’s side and a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage. If the Viola’s recent encounters are anything to go by, entertainment should await.

Fiorentina began the Serie A campaign with a 3-2 win over Cremonese on Saturday, in a match which contained a total of 42 shots, 15 on target. Italiano’s energetic, high-pressing side scored 38 goals in 19 home league games last season, and the net has been hit 13 times in their last four competitive outings in Florence. With the addition of Luka Jovic bringing more firepower, over 2.5 goals have been scored in seven of Fiorentina’s last eight matches (including friendlies).

Twente have provided similar levels of entertainment under Ron Jans of late, with six of their last seven competitive matches containing over 2.5 goals, including three of their four outings this term. The Dutch side have plundered 11 goals this campaign, including seven against Serbian outfit Cukaricki in this competition, and should play their part in an end-to-end clash.

Goals in store at Stadio Artemio Franchi

Fiorentina’s attacking prowess and excellent record on home turf means they enter Thursday’s fixture as favourites, but Twente – one of five teams to win their opening two Eredivisie matches – represent a threat.

As such, backing over 2.5 goals looks a strong play, but a 2-1 victory for a Fiorentina team which won 13 of their 19 home Serie A games last term looks a decent correct score prediction.
