La Viola's six-goal thrashing by Napoli was not an ideal preview for the relegation battle with Crotone at Stadio Artemio Franchi on Saturday evening.
Club manager Dario Dainelli confirmed Fiorentina entered into a retreat to prepare for the 'very important' match against Crotone. The Viola are struggling to put together a string of positive results and the club manager confirmed the team will enter a retreat after the 6-0 defeat to Napoli. Crotone is bottom of the Serie A table but only six points behind Fiorentina at 14th and arrives after a convincing 4-1 win over Benevento. “The match against Crotone on Saturday will be very important and the players are preparing for it in the best way. After the defeat in Naples, it’s normal that there’s a lot of bitterness in the environment. “We held a series of meetings to get the problems out and find the solutions to get out of this situation.”
With a fully fit squad to choose from, Prandelli could select veteran Martin Caceres as a more solid option at wing-back given the six goals conceded last time out and is also expected to drop Callejon for Erick Pulgar or Borja Valero in order to bolster the midfield.
Fiorentina (3-5-2): Bartlomiej Dragowski; Igor, German Pezzella, Nikola Milenkovic; Cristiano Biraghi, Gaetano Castrovilli, Borja Valero, Sofyan Amrabat, Martin Caceres; Franck Ribery, Dusan Vlahovic
Giovanni Stroppa said Crotone ‘ needs continuity’ after their 4-1 win against Benevento and claims Junior Messias ‘can play for a big club.’ Crotone sits at the bottom of the Serie A table, but are only two points off the 17th placement. “It’s not easy to maintain self-esteem, but the team is alive. We must make the most of the opportunities we have like we did when Juventus played here.’’
Junior Messias did not score against the ‘Streghe’, but Stroppa praised the Brazilian anyway. “I think he can play in big clubs, he has improved so much and I hope he will continue. I’ve congratulated our directors much time because they signed a player who could be playing in many other teams.”
Crotone could be boosted by the possibility that injured pair Ahmed Benali and Luca Marrone will be fit for Saturday, with Luca Cigarini also back in contention to take a spot on the bench. Winger Salvatore Molina has been ruled out until the end of next month with his thigh injury though, as coach Giovanni Stroppa most probably keeps faith in the 3-4-3 setup that played so well versus Benevento.
Crotone (3-4-3): Alex Cordaz; Lisandro Magallan, Vladimir Golemic, Koffi Djidji; Pedro Pereira, Milos Vulic, Niccolo Zanellato, Andrea Rispoli; Junior Messias, Emmanuel Riviere, Simeon Nwankwo

Fiorentina must respond after a heavy defeat against Napoli. Crotone is full of ups and downs and the first goal could decide the winner. Home team victory is our most preferable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
