| 8 | Fiorentina | 3 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 4:3 | 1 | 6 |
| 18 | Carpi | 3 | 0 | 1 | 2 | 5:9 | -4 | 1 |
Carpi are in deep trouble with only 1 point. Challenge is for Carpi to win their first game in Serie A after their promotion from Serie B. Not an easy task to defeat Fiorentina who have won 2 games and lsoing just 1 this season. Surely, Carpi will look to defeat Fiorentina to give a joy to their fans at the Alberto Braglia Stadium. Fiorentina will have to regroup after losing the Europa League Group Stage match against FC Basel.
It is Fiorentina to open the score in the 35th minute. Forward Khouma Babar defeating Carpi goalkeeper Francesco Benussi with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner fro close range.
There are no precedents for Capri vs Fiorentina in Serie A, this will be the first one.

CARPI (3-5-2): Benussi; Zaccardo, Bubnjic, Romagnoli; Letizia, Lollo, Cofie, Fedele, Gabriel Silva; Matos, Borriello.
