Beppe Iachini admitted that his Fiorentina side need to be more clinical in front of goal if they wish to take the full three points when Hellas Verona visit the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday evening.

Iachini spoke positively about the team’s preparation ahead of the clash against Verona.

“We’re preparing well and the lads know that they’re up against a side that has been working together for a year,” he said. “They’ve done a great job and have had a very good season, so they’re riding a wave of enthusiasm. We’ll need to play very well across the board.

“Verona come out and press you man to man all over the pitch. We need to move quickly to find some space and show good movement both going forward and defending.”

Iachini went on to admit that Fiorentina are missing the support of the Viola faithful when playing at the Franchi, but called on his side to work extra hard to get the result regardless.

“We’re playing at home so we’ll miss our twelfth man, the fans, who always give us a massive boost,” he said. “That said, we need to make sure we are well-organised, focused and show the right attitude for the full 95 minutes. We have had more shots that most of the teams in the league and have hit the woodwork five times in five games, so we hope to have a bit more luck and to be a bit more accurate this time. In order to win football matches and pick up points, you need to be more clinical in front of goal.”
