The Serie A Round 15 match between Fiorentina and Verona will take place on December 14 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence. Fiorentina – Verona: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Fiorentina
Paolo Vanoli's side lost again in the last round — this time away to Sassuolo (1-3). Consequently, Fiorentina extended their winless run in the league to 14 matches (6 draws, 8 defeats), and for the third time this Serie A season they conceded more than two goals. The club has also failed to keep a clean sheet in its previous nine league games. In the table, Fiorentina sit bottom with six points.
- The club has failed to win in 7 of their last 9 home matches in Serie A (3 draws, 4 defeats).
- Both teams scored in 7 of the club's previous 8 home league matches.
- Fiorentina conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 7 home matches in Serie A.
Projected Fiorentina lineup (3-5-2)*
David De Gea – Luca Ranieri, Pietro Comuzzo, Pablo Mari – Dodô, Rolando Mandragora, Nicolò Fagioli, Simone Sohm, Fabiano Parisi – Moise Kean, Albert Guðmundsson.
Defenders Robin Gosens and Tariq Lamptey will miss the game through injury.
Verona
In the last round Paolo Zanetti's side beat Atalanta 3-1 at home. The win ended Verona's 13-game winless run in the league (6 draws, 7 defeats). Additionally, the club scored more than two goals in a Serie A match for the first time in 2025. Verona have managed only three clean sheets across their last 20 league games. The team sit on nine points and have climbed to second-bottom in the table.
- The club has not won in seven of their last away Serie A matches (3 draws, 4 defeats).
- The team scored more than one goal in just one of their previous seven away league matches.

Match prediction: Fiorentina – Verona
In a clash between two of this season's strugglers, I do not expect an open, high-scoring game. Even at home, Fiorentina have struggled for goals in the current campaign: across six home matches the team have scored just six times, and they failed to score in the game against Lecce.
Verona are also limited in attack, particularly away from home. In their last 17 Serie A away matches the team scored more than one goal only once — in a game against Empoli, who have since been relegated — and failed to score in nine of those fixtures.
My prediction: Total under 2.5
