Fiorentina Vs Parma
Parma hold Fiorentina in Serie A

Parma secure vital point against Fiorentina, move closer to safe. Fiorentina fail to capitalize on chances, held to 0-0 draw by Parma in Serie A.


Fiorentina's relegation battle continues as they drop points to Parma...


Fiorentina's point against Parma was a mixed bag - it gets them out of the drop zone for now, but it feels like they missed a chance to get some breathing room. Parma's practically safe now.


Fiorentina's good run was bound to end after back-to-back defeats to Jagiellonia (Conference League) and Udinese (Serie A). They're preparing for the Round of 16 with Rakow - didn't help that they rotated the squad in this crucial relegation battle. 


Dodo returned from suspension, replaced on the naughty step by Fabiano Parisi. Moise Kean, Manor Solomon, Luca Lezzerini and Tariq Lamptey were ruled out. Parma were revitalised by three straight wins and a draw against Cagliari, though Adrian Bernabé, Sascha Britschgi, Pontus Almqvist and Matija Frigan missed out. Zion Suzuki returned to the bench after surgery on a hand fracture in November.


Luca Ranieri couldn’t get control of a scuffed acrobatic volley on the Roberto Piccoli knockdown, while Gabriel Strefezza blasted over on the counter-attack after robbing Marco Brescianini.


Mandela Keita’s daisy-cutter from outside the area skimmed the base of the near post, but Fiorentina stepped up a gear after the restart, Jack Harrison’s cross for Piccoli forcing a desperate Enrico Delprato block.


Fiorentina's attacks weren't paying off - Mandragora's acrobatic volley flew over, and Piccoli and Fabbian missed Fagioli's cross.

 



The point moves Fiorentina out of the bottom three, but Parma's practically safe now. Fiorentina fans weren't happy, jeering them off the field
