Fiorentina and Sampdoria will open week 3 in the Seria A on Friday evening at Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Inter – Fiorentina match is already a contender for the best of the season, as there were so many twists and turns, not to mention fantastic goals and inspired passes, in this 4-3 thrilling encounter. Christian Kouame, after missing several chances in the first round put the Viola in front after three minutes, Lautaro Martinez scored one and forced an own goal to turn it around. Franck Ribery turned on the style with two magnificent assists to send Gaetano Castrovilli and Federico Chiesa on goal, while Dusan Vlahovic really should’ve made it 4-2 for Fiorentina. Instead, Inter completed a last-gasp comeback through Lukaku and D’Ambrosio, with substitutes Achraf Hakimi, Arturo Vidal, and Radja Nainggolan all playing their part.
Fiorentina is developing an identity. It involves, a reliance on the counterattack that fans may not welcome, but you can tell that the players know what to do. The plan is to get the ball to Ribery in the left half-space and then get runners over the top. If that doesn’t work, the midfielders will try to quickly switch play to a wingback high up the pitch. Pushing a legitimate Scudetto contender, Inter to the brink in a 4-3 defeat is a positive sign for this group despite the despair of letting a win slip away.
Depth makes a difference in Italian first division and that was on notice in that game. The Viola brought on Lirola, Cutrone, Vlahović, and a 37-year-old Borja. Inter, on the other side, brought on Arturo Vidal, Radja Nainggolan, Alexis Sánchez, Stefano Sensi, and Achraf Hakimi. The turnaround was managed by almost all of them and if they are trying to find reasons for the defeated, there it is. While Fiorentina has talent waiting in the wings, that’s how a club has to operate. For this year, in the era of five substitutes, a bigger squad and more squad depth could be the most important factors in where teams finish in the table.
Franck Ribery was reportedly back in training after a blow to the right ankle on Saturday, preparing to face Sampdoria. The French attacker, who was out for four months last season after undergoing ankle surgery, suffered a blow to the right ankle during the 4-3 defeat to Inter on Saturday. He should be fine after having undergone a consultation with the medical staff.
There’s just one fitness concern for Fiorentina as Erick Pulgar is sidelined.
It was a thriller at Marassi, as Sampdoria thought they’d done about going 2-0 up, but new boys Benevento completed a fantastic comeback to win 3-2. Visitors showed their naivety after promotion from Serie B, conceding two cheap goals that were somewhat gifted to Fabio Quagliarella and Omar Colley. However, Pippo Inzaghi’s men adopted his own never say die attitude to turn it all around. Captain Luca Caldirola bagged a brace on his Serie A debut, with Gaetano Letizia’s late strike securing victory.
After two defeats and six goals conceded, Claudio Ranieri struggles to understand how his Sampdoria was overturned by Benevento after the double advantage: ''We conceded and we gave them courage already in the first half. We conceded a goal from the goalkeeper and then two on a corner. If you take the lead like we were then you have to be the master of the field. In training, we are those of last year, but in the match we become unpredictable: you have to stick to the basics. I say that Benevento deserved the victory. We were unable to do what we had to do and not for lack of determination.''
In a hectic transfer market, Sampdoria has closed deals for Antonio Candreva and Keita Balde, expecting to sign a deal with Norwegian Noah Bech Hermansen tomorrow. The club is in talks with Torino over a possible sale of Gaston Ramirez too and the report reveals Samp are confident of bringing Adrien Silva to Genoa this week. The team from Genoa is in advanced talks with Leicester over a potential move for the Portuguese midfielder, who spent last season on loan at AS Monaco in Ligue 1. The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to the Seria A and Raineri knows him well as an ex Leicester coach.

Both teams had defensive errors in their last games and it could be little time to erase them for the next match. Both teams to score is preferable bet due to their offensive power and ability to be very dangerous with the individual quality they have.

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.
