After an encouraging midweek draw, faltering Fiorentina look to claim a first league win since late October as they welcome Hellas Verona to Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday.
The visitors' excellent run of form in Serie A came to an end in midweek, with the Gialloblu losing 2-1 at home to Sampdoria.
We say: Fiorentina 1-1 Hellas Verona
With an upcoming visit to the champions set to close out their calendar year commitments, Fiorentina could certainly do with a home win on Saturday.
Their struggles in front of goal can be exploited by a well-drilled Verona side though, as I Gialloblu can take home a point to keep themselves among the top-half challengers going into 2020.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

Sampdoria meet Serie A's bottom side Crotone at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday with both sides having secured positive results in the last week following a terrible run of form.
Claudio Ranieri's Samp side upset in-form Verona at the Bentegodi on Wednesday, while Crotone finally brushed their fruitless toils aside to claim four points from their last two fixtures - trebling their season's total in a matter of days.
We say: Sampdoria 1-0 Crotone
With things looking a little brighter for both sides following significant struggles, the two teams could be emboldened to seize this opportunity for another three points.
Though neither are prolific, hosts Sampdoria have the greater options in midfield and on the bench - enough to ensure a narrow win over improving Crotone.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Parma welcome defending champions Juventus to Stadio Ennio Tardini on Saturday evening after a goalless draw at home to Cagliari in midweek which left Fabio Liverani's men 14th in the Serie A standings.
Meanwhile, Andrea Pirlo's team climbed to third by virtue of yet another league draw on Wednesday, but must start to turn singles into maximums if they are to keep pace with the Milan clubs at the Serie A summit.
We say: Parma 0-2 Juventus
While both sides have developed a particular propensity for draws this season, the likeliest outcome at the Tardini this week is an away win.
Juventus have - for the most part - been defensively resilient and can post another win on the board in Emilia-Romagna, with 'contract rebel' Paulo Dybala likely to have a say in the outcome.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.
