Luka Jovic is our tip for the first goalscorer in Sunday’s match. The former Real Madrid player, who was mostly been used as an impact substitute from the bench last season, scored just one goal (or 0.27 per 90) in La Liga last season with an expected goals of 2.6 and is 15/4 to be the first name on the score sheet in this match. Or evens to score at any time during Sunday’s game.
Match preview
The Purple welcome Cremonese to the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence on Sunday for this Serie A match.
Fiorentina finished last Serie A season in 7th place, three points ahead of Atalanta BC in 8th. As a result, this earned them qualification into the UEFA Europa Conference League play off round. Viola come into this match on a run of two home wins with clean sheets in a row carried over from last season. Fiorentina won their last league match of the 2021/22 season at home to Juventus. The final score of the match was 2-0.
Federico Chiesa is the biggest departure for them this summer. The 24 year old right winger has made his loan move to Juventus FC a permanent one for £36.00m.
Alfred Duncan (thigh), Nicolas Gonzalez and Gaetano Castrovilli (knee) are all expected to miss this match for Fiorentina.
Cremonese finished last season in 2nd place in Serie B. As a result, they were promoted to Italy’s top-tier for the first time since their relegation from Serie A in 1996. The following season, they were relegated to Serie C. Cremonese won their last league match of the 2021/22 season away to Como. The final score of the match was 1-2.
I Grigiorossi have had a busy summer putting together a squad of players to help them avoid the drop. Charles Pickel, Emanuel Aiwu, Giacomo Quagliata, Frank Tsadjout, Tommaso Milanese, Johan Vásquez, Vlad Chiriches, Paolo Ghiglione, Leonardo Sernicola, Maissa Ndiaye, Luca Valzania, Joshua Tenkorang, David Okereke, Santiago Ascacíbar, and Ionut Radu all arrive to bolster the squad.
Santiago Ascacibar is a doubt due to a thigh injury for this match. La Cremo otherwise have a full squad to select from for the opening day trip to the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
