Serie A 2024-2025: Fiorentina-Empoli, the likely lineups

The Tuscan derby between Fiorentina and Empoli will be staged on Sunday afternoon on the 34th day of Serie A. Kickoff at the Stadio Artemio Franchi at 15:00. The Viola will try to hit the three points to catch Igor Tudor’s Juventus in fifth place in the standings. The guests, for their part, are going through a deep crisis of results and are called to collect points to move away from the hot zone of the standings.

Palladino will have to do without Kean again. It will be Beltran’s turn again to flank Gudmundsson in the offensive tandem. In the middle of the field, trust Mandragora, Cataldi and Adli, with Gosens and Folorunsho as full-band outfielders.
