Clearly the best team in the group stages of the BBL, the Sixers notched up nine wins from their fourteen matches to finish at the summit. Also, they ended the regular season on a high, thanks to a convincing 5-wicket win over Melbourne Stars. For this fixture, they will be counting on the impressive Josh Philippe to get them off to a flying start a player who has mustered 454 runs so far. Also, the likes of Jordan Silk, Daniel Hughes and James Vince could play a huge role in Sydney Sixers registering a win here.
Fiorentina also cannot boast of outstanding results and, like Torino, the violets have already sang to change their coach. However, with the arrival of Cesare Prandelli, the team’s game did not radically change. The same can be said about results. Victories are won, but there are big questions to the team from Florence about the content of the game. However, so far the “violets” are not a contender for relegation. Seven points separate them from the 18th “Cagliari”, which may well be considered a comfortable handicap, especially since neighbors below are also not impressive. In the last round Fiorentina beat Crotone with a score of 2:1 without any problems. The victory could have been even greater, but in the first half of the meeting they failed to realize all the chances. More accurate match prediction can be obtained from the link provided. This week Fiorentina officially introduced Alexander Kokorin and today the Russian forward may well be included in the application.
