54-Year Slump Returns as Fiorentina Fall to Verona
Fiorentina's slump continued on Sunday as they were beaten 2-1 by Verona at home, extending their winless run in Serie A to 15 games this season. The Viola pressed in spells but failed to convert chances, and Verona punished them with a late counter.
They have not managed a league win in 15 fixtures, leaving them on six points and at the bottom of the table.
Opta data underline the drought: 15 consecutive league matches without a win, built from six draws and nine defeats, a run Fiorentina have only matched twice before.
Historically this dry spell is rare but not unique. The club endured 21 winless matches between November 1937 and April 1938, and 17 from December 1970 to April 1971, roughly 54 years ago.
In European competition they have a contrasting record: three Conference League wins so far, while league results remain stubborn.
Bottom line: it's a troubling season for Fiorentina, with a domestic crisis and a modest continental glow.
Punchline: If patience were a weapon, Fiorentina would be the deadliest marksman—they've learned to miss with style.
Punchline: As the great comedian might say, "If at first you don't succeed, keep trying—Fiorentina's goal-spree hasn't even started yet."
