Fiorentina vs Polissya Zhytomyr Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

Qualified for the semi-finals in the last three editions 2 finals, the Fiorentina wants to win this competition but must already qualify for it. For the moment, it goes well thanks to a good victory in the first leg 0-3 despite its evolution in numerical inferiority during the entirety of the second period. In the weekend, as part of the 1st day of Serie A, the Viola stumbled on Cagliari in Sardinia 1-1 . In front, the song is not the same for the Ukrainian club, forced to achieve the unthinkable at 11 against 11.

It would have at least had to mark once in numerical superiority to reduce the brand, which was not done. No championship on the program last weekend for the Polissya Zhytomyr who remained on a home defeat against the LNZ Cherkasy 0-2 before the first round against the Fiorentina. ZHYTOMYR will move to Italy by being on a sad slope of 4 defeats following all competitions. 

Decisive passer on the goal of Robin Gosens (definitively bought at the expense of the Berlin Union) at the outward journey, the 2nd top scorer in the year last year Moisse Kean (ex-PSG) was expelled in stride and will therefore purge his suspension today. Stefano Pioli (coach) will have to compose without Barak and without Kouame (both in return from loan), injured. There was a change in the workforce of the Viola this summer with the departures of Folorununso (not preserved at the end of its loan and now in Cagliari), of the interesting Adli (4 goals, 6 passes in Serie in the past season), Catdi (Lazio) and Colpani (Monza) without forgetting to quote Zaniolo (Galatasaray) and the Bove (Roma) cardiac arrest last season. Reinforcements have come to expand the ranks of Fiorentina, we think in particular of Lezzerini (Brescia), defenders Viti (loaned by Nice, played last season) and Kospo (the Masia), the offensive environments Sohm (Parma, 4 goals in its past season) and Fazzini (4 goals, international U21) and especially the very experienced Edin (Fenerbahce).

From the other side of the median, let us talk about the major departure of Facundo Batista Ochoa (6 goals in the league), left for Colombia (Atlético Nacional). Boys like Gutsulyak (11 goals, 3 assists last season) and Nazarenko (7 goals, 7 assists) are still in the ranks and recently joined by the Midyta Kravchenko community (1 million euros). Absent from the first leg, the Brazilian Lucas Taylor should not play today while Mykhailichenko would be on the return of a suspension.
