&lt;p&gt;Bottom of the table meets second-to-last: although it’s only matchday 15 in Serie A, the game between Fiorentina and Verona – separated by just three points – already feels decisive in terms of the standings and morale. Fiorentina are still chasing their first league win, which would allow them to move level with their opponents and avoid slipping further away from safety. Verona, meanwhile, aim to build on last week’s win over Atalanta, their first of the season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HEAD-TO-HEAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There have been 42 official meetings between the two sides in Florence, with Fiorentina winning 25 (the most recent a 3–1 in Serie A 2024/25), 11 draws (the latest a 1–1 in Serie A 2021/22) and 6 Verona wins (the last a 4–1 success in Serie A 2017/18).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DID YOU KNOW?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina are the team that have been awarded the most penalties in their favour: 4, level with Bologna, Pisa and Torino.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Last Saturday Verona claimed their first win of the Serie A 2025/26 season, beating Atalanta 3–1 at the Bentegodi. The goals for the Gialloblù came from Giovane (his third of the season, all scored at home), Belghali (his second in a row after scoring away to Genoa) and Bernede (his first of the &amp;nbsp;season and second overall in Serie A, the first also having come against Fiorentina last February).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COACHES and PLAYERS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amin Sarr is the player with the most substitute appearances in Serie A 2025/26: 12 times.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DISCIPLINE&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suspended: none&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cautioned: Ranieri (Fiorentina), Frese, Belghali, Akpa Akpro (Verona)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;REFEREE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;COLOMBO (BACCINI – PERROTTI) IV: PICCININI, VAR: GARIGLIO, AVAR: LA PENNA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPCOMING MATCHES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fiorentina-Udinese (Sunday, December 21, 18.00 CET)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Milan-Verona (Sunday, December 28, 12.30 CET&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;
