Everyone will be there at the stadium. From the historic Ultras of Vitoria to the lady who bakes the desserts, passing through professionals from various sectors or students. In Guimaraes they support Vitoria, there are no exceptions, woe betide you when you think of more successful colors because as they like to say here, “Out of a thousand inhabitants of Guimaraes a thousand and one support Vitoria”. This will be faced by Fiorentina this evening knowing that in Portugal they are decides part of the European future.
Everything is possible, from the second place finish (a victory is needed) to the sensational slip out of the top eight (possible in case of defeat), to everything that remains in between. For this reason Palladino doesn’t trust and together with the ‘co-starters’ seen in this competition there will also be room for those who have played the most during the year.
In goal De Gea is the strongest, Martinelli speaks in the conference but on the pitch he goes Terracciano. Rather contested after the defeat against Empoli even without having specific shortcomings regarding the goals conceded.
Behind on the right the great ex plays, Dodo (suspended in the championship), who played 12 matches with the Vitoria shirt, scoring 2 goals and providing the same number of assists. Left Parisiin the middle with Fourth more Ranieri Of Comuzzo even if Pongracic is ready and could play a portion of the match.
In the midfield there were few doubts, many absent. With Mandrake play Richardsonscorer of a goal against Lask but also guilty of the missed header in Bologna which could have meant a draw.
In front, together with the Conference League top scorer Ikone, space for three more shirts. Four players compete for them, Gudmundsson, Kouame, Beltran and Kean. Three will play immediately, the other will enter during the match. After the glut of victories, Fiorentina exited the Italian Cup at the hands of Empoli and then also fell in the championship to Bologna.
Nothing too worrying. But getting a good result tonight would bring the right smile back to a team that needs it. For a thousand reasons.
