Wolverhampton had an unsuccessful performance in the League Cup, where the team failed at the start of the tournament. After winning the first stage of the FA Cup, where the Tramps beat Sheffield United (3:0), the next stage brought a fiasco in a duel with Norwich (0:1). In the Premier League the Wolves were aiming for a place in European competition, but today this goal is becoming more and more elusive. For 21 rounds of the current championship, Bruno Lagy’s wards recorded 34 points and eighth position. The team’s performance in the attack line looks very modest, while it is impossible not to note the second best record in the league in terms of goals conceded. The Orange-and-Blacks won all the matches in 2022 against Manchester United (1:0), Southampton (3:1) and Brentford (2:1). Today Pain, Johnny, Mosquera, Netu and Hwang Hee Chan, who has a hip injury, will not be able to take part in the match.
Fiorentina did not have a very successful opening segment of the championship and stuck in the middle of the standings according to its results. But Vincenzo Italiano brought the team to its senses just in time and the Violets improved even in the first round, having managed to really get involved in the fight for European cups. So far, Fiorentina are eighth in the table with 36 points in the assets. The violets are only three points away from the sixth Lazio. The seventh Roma is at the same distance, but at the same time, the competitors played a match more. Fiorentina fell so low due to the 0:3 defeat from Lazio in the last round. This is the second loss of points for the team in the last two rounds, before that the Florentines could not beat Cagliari at home (1:1).
