Cagliari - Form Analysis:
"The Islanders" fought hard to secure their place in Serie A after being relegated in 2022, only managing to do so through the playoffs. As newcomers, they failed to win in their first nine matches and were at risk of relegation until the end. In April-May, they couldn't secure a win in five matches. However, they won 2-0 away against a direct competitor, Sassuolo, in the last round, ensuring their survival "ahead of schedule." Now, 72-year-old Ranieri can retire peacefully.
Fiorentina - Form Analysis:
"The Violets" have had an extremely busy season, staying in multiple competitions almost until the end. They were eliminated by Atalanta in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals. Ahead is a crucial Conference League match, and Italiano clearly wants to perform better against Olympiacos than in the 2023 final against West Ham, which ended in defeat. Perhaps their European campaign affected their Serie A performances. On the other hand, they have improved towards the end: three wins and a draw against Napoli in the last round, along with a defeat to Verona.
