Stefano Pioli’s Fiorentina is starting to get serious. After the first friendly tests of this first phase of pre-championship preparation, with victories over fellow countrymen Grosseto (3-0) and Carrarese (2-0), the Viola are expected to have a more testing engagement. At 4 p.m. Sunday, in fact, they will face at the King Power Stadium Leicester, a noble decadent of English soccer and fresh from relegation from the Premier League to the First Division. With the firm intention, however, to return as soon as possible to the top league d’across the Channel.

Pioli is expected to send his Fiorentina on the field with the’only point, which should be the usual Moise Kean. A few meters behind him should act Fazzini and Ndour, midfield entrusted to Richardson and Fagioli, with the tried-and-true Dodò-Gosens pair on the side lanes.

A single striker is expected to be the Fiorentina striker.

A single striker also for Marti Cifuentes’ Leicester, who should rely on Ayew. Dense battery of trequartists, with Page in the center, Marcal-Madivadua on the right and Monga on the left-hand lane. Skipp and Winks will be the dam in the midfield, in front of a four-man defense hinged on the’former Atalanta defender in the center, Caleb Okoli.

Probable lineups:

FIORENTINA (3-4-2-1): De Gea; Comuzzo, Pablo Marì, Ranieri; Dodò, Richardson, Fagioli, Gosens; Ndour, Fazzini; Kean. Coach: Stefano Pioli

.

LEICESTER (4-2-3-1): Stolarczyk; Choudhury, Faes, Okoli, Thomas; Winks, Skipp; Marcal-Madivadua, Page, Monga; Ayew. Coach: Marti Cifuentes.
