Serie A held its draw for the season schedule today, and as a result we finally know how the 2017-2018 Fiorentina season will look. We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but it looks like an absolute doozy. On the positive side, though, it’ll finish earlier than usual to allow Italy time to rehearse before the World Cup. So at least it won’t drag on too long, right? Right? Anyways, without further ado, here are your Viola fixtures.

Some thoughts
- Talk about starting off with a bang against Borja Valero and Inter in Milan in the first match
- Back-to-back visits from the Milan sides, followed up by a visit from Samp, mean that the new year could start out unpleasantly
- If Fiorentina need a last-fixture miracle for any reason, we may as well acknowledge that it won’t happen against Milan at the San Siro
- In fact, everything from Week 31 on looks rough, so the team will need to come flying out the gates if it wants to play in Europe next year
- None of the games that involve less than a week are set up to be too difficult, at least on paper
That’s what I’ve gotten out of it after looking through for a bit. What do you see that looks really bad?
