The most recent league meeting between these two sides was a 3-2 victory for Fiorentina in the 2022/23 season.

Gabriel Batistuta is the top scorer in matches between Fiorentina and Cremonese with four goals, followed by Alessandro Savelli, Oscar Moroni, Socrates and Arthur Cabral, all on two.

Paolo Vanoli has met Davide Nicola twice before as a coach, winning one and losing one. Both of those games came last season: Torino 2-0 Cagliari and Cagliari 3-2 Torino.

Federico Ceccherini could turn out against his former side. The Livorno-born center-back spent two years in Florence, from 2018 to 2020, and joined Cremonese last season.
