Fiorentina-OFI Crete, the probable formations

Fiorentina-OFI Crete, the probable formations

A new international friendly for Vincenzo Italiano’s Fiorentina, which will take the field at 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, at the Artemio Franchi stadium in Florence against OFI Crete of Greece.

Specular tactical scheme for the two teams on the pitch, as both Italiano and Dambrauskas are expected to opt for a 4-2-3-1. The Viola side will have Jovic in the center forward position and sole point, with Brekalo and Ikoné acting on the flanks and Bonaventura deployed a few meters behind the Serbian striker.

The midfield dike will consist of Mandragora and former Juventus man Arthur, with Fiorentina no longer being able to use “the other” Arthur: striker Cabral, in fact, has been officially sold to Benfica. In defense, in front of Terracciano, there will be Comuzzo along with veterans Biraghi, Dodò and Milenkovic.

Fiorentina-OFI Crete likely lineups, 8 p.m.

FIORENTINA (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Dodò, Milenkovic, Comuzzo, Biraghi; Mandragora, Arthur; Ikoné, Bonaventura, Brekalo; Jovic. All. Italian

OFI CRETE (4-2-3-1): Christogeorgos, Abanda, Bakic, Bifouma, Lampropoulos, Larsson, Mellado, Pasalidis, Phellype, Riera, Toral. All. Dambrauskas
