Vincenzo Italiano said there’s ‘no denying’ the problems Fiorentina have are in attack and the statistics certainly back that up with some shocking finishing.

The Viola started the Serie A season strong with a 3-2 win over Cremonese, but since then have found the net only once in the next four games.

It is not through want of trying, because strikers like Luka Jovic, Arthur Cabral, Jonathan Ikone, Riccardo Sottil and Christian Kouame have certainly had the chances.

Their xG in Serie A for this season so far is 6.0, although they found the net only four times.

Between Serie A and the Conference League, Fiorentina have played eight games and scored only seven goals.

It was calculated that out of 68 total attempts on goal, only 20 of those were on target.

In last night’s Conference League 1-1 draw with Latvians RFS Riga, the Viola dominated by every metric except goals scored.

They had 73 per cent possession, 30 attempts on goal to nine, 665 passes completed to 167 and 56 attacks to 27.
