Catania - Fiorentina Italy - Serie A Prediction

Catania - Fiorentina
10.05 15:00
Catania sit 15th in the standings and, with 34 games played and 11 points separating them from the relegation zone, are all but assured of survival this season.The Sicilian after defeated 2-0 by Milan last weekend,now in these final four league games will play maybe not relax but not on the 100% of one`s possibilities.The Rossazzurri will take on Fiorentina in a difficult game as the Viola continue their chase for a Champions League spot.Morimoto is suspended for this game, also Ledesma, Potenza they won`t play here.So Zenga use 4-4-2 formation,Kosicky which once again he will play from the beginning with Milan may have conceded twice, but it was thanks to for him that this scoreline wasn`t more severe. Made at least four smart stops. Silvestri in defence which lost Inzaghi for the opening goal and was repeatedly opened up down the left, mostly by Kaka this is not good option in Catania for Vargas and Gilardino also.Silvestre another not good defender he was coming or going against Inzaghi`s lightning movement.Stovini and Capuano these are also unsure competitors so I think that and in this match will have considerable problems with Gilardino-Vargas.Sciacca and Tedesco they will play too Izco and Carboni in midfield.And he can without the revelation but it is a good move.Mascara and Martinez it is an only possible threat in the Catania team. Martinez which Catania`s best player week ago,he embarked on a few slalom runs, and threatened early on.Zenga he still has the option around Spinesi but I think he won`t use it.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina after the win against Torino week ago which it was very important win as it gave us continuity in our results.Every match from now until the end of the championship will be important.The Viola have regained their rhythm and a Champions League place is on the horizon.The Peruvian Juan Vargas has hit a rich vein of form for Fiorentina over the past few weeks and this was exemplified week ago, as the left-sided player scored the only goal of the game to defeat Torino.Prandelli use Vargas on the new position on the pitch behind Gilardino in up front and this is a great for this player.The former Catania star now has three goals this season and the Viola remain in fourth place after their 1-0 victory over Torino.Fiorentina are on 61 points, one point above fifth-placed Genoa with only four matches left before the end of the season.A few days ago Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has spoken about his future in Tuscany, emphasising that he will be staying at the Artemio Franchi.This is a great news for all Viola players and fans of course.Viola he will play without Santana, Mutu, Bonzazzoli and the ex-Chievo man Franco Semioli which limped off after just 20 minutes of Fiorentina’s home win over Torino.Prandelli he won`t change placing his team, defence line-up he will be the same,Comotto,Dainelli,Gamberini,Pasqual.Only Dainelli he had a few unsuccessful intervention from Torino but generally he appeared from the good side, rest without accusations.Behind recalled Semioli he will play Felipe Melo which is coming back after the suspension to the game. Montolivo,Kuzmanovic and Jovetic is a good midfield line-up option in Viola. They are creating much situation very much for the pair of Gilardino-Vargas strikers.
Away win
Fiorentina to be a hard-fought battle coming away with maximum points.However, the passionate Sicilian crowd could spur their side onto greatness. But I think more motivated side will be Viola here and take maximum points here.
Tip: Fiorentina, Odds 1.85;
