Fiorentina missed out on the opportunity to take advantage of favorable results in the midweek round and dropped the ball against Frosinone, being held to a one-all draw. The Viola could have stepped into the top four. Instead, they were overtaken by Atalanta and Fiorentina.
The Gigliati aren’t new to failing to beat Serie A newcomers, Tuttomercatoweb relays. They lost to Venezia, Salernitana, and Empoli two years ago. Instead, they picked up one point in two games with Monza and equalized with Lecce in 2022/2023. They frequently didn’t make the leap when they could.
Their new-look attack sputtered once again Thursday. Fiorentina cashed in on Arthur Cabral and eventually parted ways with Luka Jovic too, ushering in M’Bala Nzola and Lucas Beltran. Neither of the two center-forward has scored yet.
The former Spezia marksman, who’s very familiar with Vincenzo Italiano, has fired blanks in his 638 minutes on the pitch. The Argentine prodigy has played 287 so far. They have been carried by Nicolas Gonzalez and Giacomo Bonaventura.
Our Take on Fiorentina
While a slow start was to be expected for Beltran because of his move from a very different league, Nzola should have hit the ground running considering his Spezia numbers. He probably didn’t have a great summer given the looming transfer, and he tends to fare well only if on point physically. If that’s indeed the case, it’s only a matter of time.
