Anticipated Starting Lineups for Serie A Week 31: Sassuolo vs. Cagliari, Verona vs. Fiorentina, Lazio vs. Parma

The Serie A season resumes today with three scheduled matches: Sassuolo vs. Cagliari, Verona vs. Fiorentina, and Lazio vs. Parma, following Italy's recent World Cup disappointment. Below are the predicted starting XIs for these encounters.

Gameweek 31 of Italy's top football league commences this Saturday, April 4th, with Sassuolo hosting Cagliari at 15:00 CET, Verona challenging Fiorentina at 18:00 CET, and Lazio clashing with Parma at 20:45 CET.

The fixture between Verona and Fiorentina carries significant weight in the battle against relegation. Despite an 11-point difference separating the two teams in the league standings, this meeting at the Stadio Bentegodi is arguably Verona's final significant opportunity to boost their survival prospects. Fiorentina, conversely, will be determined to avoid defeat to create more distance from the bottom three positions.

Currently, the club from Tuscany (Fiorentina) holds a slim one-point lead over Lecce and Cremonese.

Italian international Moise Kean is likely to start on the substitutes' bench, as he is not yet at full fitness following the March international break.
