The Conference League, or rather the midweek European fixture, will not cause any damage in this case. Yes, Fiorentina were busy in Slovenia against Celje, but the Viola played at a very low tempo and Palladino made several changes to the team to beat the side that will visit the Franchi next Thursday 2-1. In short, qualification is in the bag and on Sunday, in front of president Rocco Commisso, the Tuscan side should be able to beat Parma.
Yes, it is also true that Chivu’s team stopped Inter by coming back from two goals down with a courageous and attacking second half. But every game really has its own story, and so it will not be easy to come away from the Franchi unscathed against a Fiorentina side that has had five positive results in a row, including four wins.
Palladino should make a few changes to the line-up, however. Dodo and Zaniolo are suspended for Thursday’s game, so they are in contention for a starting spot. The former is certain to start, while the latter disappointed in the Conference League and should start on the bench. Chivu, on the other hand, is unlikely to make any changes in defense or midfield for Parma. In attack, however, keep an eye out for what could be some major changes.

Prediction
Fiorentina are in good shape both physically and mentally. They got the maximum result in Slovenia with minimal effort. So no extra fatigue, or rather very little. A match with at least three goals in total, and Parma should also find the net in the 90 minutes. But the three points will go to the hosts.
