On the other hand, Groningen drew 2-2 at home to Volendam as they blew a 2-0 win after going ahead via strikes from Cyril Ngonge and Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Fiorentina and Cremonense meet up on the opening day of the Serie A season on Sunday in what could be a fascinating encounter.

The home side have had some interesting pre-season results, having recently been beaten 3-1 and 2-1 by both Real Betis and Galatasaray, but, before this they had beaten hammered the likes of Triestina and Trento 4-0 and 4-1.

Cremonese have already played one match this season which saw them defeat Ternana 3-2 at home in the Coppa Italia as Luka Bodgan scored an own goal, whilst David Okereke and Giacomo Quagliata also added to the scoresheet.

Two recently relegated sides in Venezia and Genoa face off on the opening weekend of the Serie A season.

Venezia were beaten 3-2 at home by Ascoli in the Coppa Italia in their first game of the season after Anthony Fontana scored a stoppage-time winner following a late brace by Hilmir Rafn Mikaelsson to initially level the scores.

Meanwhile, Genoa scraped a 3-2 victory at home to Benevento in the second round of the Coppa Italia as Albert Gudmundsson scored a brace whilst Massimo Coda also got on the scoresheet, with Kamil Glik and Nermin Karic bagging for the visitors.

Modena have actually played two matches in the Coppa Italia this season and have earned reputable wins against Catanzaro and Sassuolo by 3-1 and 3-2 scorelines with Diego Falcinellie and Nicola Mosti (2) getting on the scoresheet in the latter-mentioned match.

Frosinone will be looking to bounce back from their loss in the Coppa Italia having conceded three in a 3-2 defeat to Monza. During this match they conceded two penalties, a feat that they will certainly not be looking to repeat.
