Luka Jovic and Dodò will start for Fiorentina on Sunday, while Nikola Milenkovic will lead the defence after renewing his contract till 2027 earlier this week. A lot of debutants will feature for Cremonese this weekend, including Cyriel Dessers and David Okereke, who are the club's major signings in this transfer window.
Fiorentina enjoyed a good first season under Vincenzo Italiano and are set for a UEFA Conference League playoff against Twente this month after finishing seventh in Serie A back in May. Cremonese have undergone a lot of changes this summer, most noticeably the managerial change from Fabio Pecchia to Massimiliano Alvini. The departure of Lucas Torreira is a big blow for the Viola's ambitions for the upcoming season and Luka Jovic will be expected to fill the goalscoring void left by Dusan Vlahovic, although there are doubts on how well he fits Italiano's 4-3-3. Fiorentina were pretty good at home last season and should enjoy a comfortable win. 3:0
