Fiorentina are great at playing patient football, Rangers will be tight at the back and in the middle too. The trend from both CL and UEFA games is that the Gers are more dangerous away, much to my surprise, while Fiore conceded far too many at home, even vs much weaker teams - in other words if we expect a careful start from both teams and the trend above is valid, value is with Rangers to reach Final.
On the other hand if we know it , Prandelli knows it too. Italians somehow know how to win games like this. The fact that Inter and Milan failed in CL has different explanations.
Fiorentina is far less experienced, with many young guns and a lot to prove. If they score first I rather see them winning conviniently instead of conceding as Rangers will open up, leaving space for hosts' fast forwards. If Rangers score first I can't see Fiore outscoring them to qualify as Rangers will make it even tighter at the back. So if we follow the logic of what we have seen from both teams so far the question is who will score first?
On the other hand who says there will be any logic in this game? If it gets to penalties though I see Fiore going through...Hope not as many here will be on Rangers.
