The Florence side won the battle with Lazio for sixth place. However, due to Bologna’s cup win, they were sent back to the Conference League. There, they made it through to the playoffs and, not without some drama, eliminated Jagiellonia. Against another Polish side, Raków, things went more smoothly—they won both matches. But domestically, they hadn’t tasted victory until winter. However, they quickly began to catch up with their rivals. For example, after a goalless draw with Parma, they thrashed Cremonese 4-1.
The Milan giants ended last season without any trophies, despite being serious contenders for four of them. The new manager, Chivu, has also made some mistakes, including a notable loss to Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League as early as February. However, on the domestic front, they are semifinalists in the cup—the first leg of this stage ended 0-0 on Como’s field. In Serie A, by spring, they had built a comfortable lead. But in recent rounds, they lost to Milan and only managed a draw with Atalanta.
Kean and company score an average of 1.17 goals, conceding 1.48. The league leaders, meanwhile, average 2.24 goals scored and only 0.79 conceded per game.
