Fiorentina to host Salernitana at 15:00 CET

Fiorentina want to bounce back after their defeat to AC Milan, while Salernitana are aiming for their second league win of the campaign

A long-awaited victory finally arrived on matchday 13: Salernitana’s 2-1 win over Lazio has re-energised Pippo Inzaghi’s side, who now want to push on. Fiorentina, meanwhile, are looking to put their defeat to AC Milan behind them and get their European push back on track. The Viola, who have lost four of their last five league fixtures (W1) after winning four of their previous five, have emerged victorious from eight of their last 13 home games in Serie A TIM (D3, L2). As for Salternitana, they haven’t recorded back-to-back wins in Serie A TIM since October 2022.

DID YOU KNOW?

Only Bayern Munich (35) have faced fewer shots than Fiorentina (39) in the final 30 minutes of play in the current season across the big five European leagues. On the other hand, only Eintracht Frankfurt (36), Cadiz (39), Torino (41), Metz and Milan (both 46) have attempted fewer shots than Salernitana (47) in the same period.

HEAD TO HEAD

Fiorentina have lost just two of their eight previous encounters with Salernitana in Serie A (W4 D2), scoring 16 goals against this opponent. Salernitana are one of the four teams that Fiorentina have faced at least four times at home in Serie A and won on every occasion (4/4), along with Avellino (10/10), Liguria (4/4), and Reggina (7/7).

PLAYERS

Nicolás González has scored 11 goals in 2023, second only to Lautaro Martínez (27) among Argentine players in the big five European leagues. Specifically, he has scored six goals in the current season, his best single-season performance in the big five European leagues was seven goals in 33 appearances in Serie A for Fiorentina in 2021-22. Fiorentina's Fabiano Parisi has conceded a penalty in each of his last two Serie A appearances (against Bologna and Milan). The last player to concede a penalty in three consecutive Serie A matches was Felipe, between December 2012 and January 2013 with Siena. Antonio Candreva has provided 11 assists in Serie A against Fiorentina, more than any other player against a single opponent since Opta started collecting this data (since 2004-05). Extending the big five European leagues from Candreva's debut season in 2007-08, only Thomas Müller (17 against Werder Bremen and 13 against Köln) and Lionel Messi (15 against Levante and 13 against Getafe) have more against a specific opponent.
