Fiorentina vs Genoa Predictions

• Fiorentina have won six of their nine home league games, netting 23 goals in the process, and their last home loss came on 3^rd October, against then-unbeaten Napoli.
• Managerless Genoa have now gone 18 league games without winning.
• Genoa have won one of their 11 away league games this season.

Managerless Genoa in for tough evening

Andriy Shevchenko’s Genoa reign barely lasted two months, with the Ukrainian losing his job after Thursday’s extra-time loss at his former club AC Milan. The striking legend oversaw just nine Serie A contests, in which Genoa failed to win a game and scored an abysmal three goals.

With Genoa winning just once on the road all season, and not winning any league game since 12^th September, they shouldn’t hold out too much hope ahead of a trip to Fiorentina. Vincenzo Italiano’s team might bounce between the sublime and the ridiculous, following up a 4-0 loss at Torino with a 5-2 win at Napoli this week, but they have won six of their nine league games in Florence this term.

Although Fiorentina have gone three Serie A games without winning, drawing two, the Viola are unbeaten at home since early October, and only Inter, Napoli, and Sassuolo have earned a result on their ground all season. Furthermore, only Lazio and Inter can better Fiorentina’s record of 23 home goals this term.

Viola should entertain again

Fiorentina were made to work for a 2-1 win at Genoa earlier this season, but they should be more comfortable against their struggling opponents this time around. Nine of Fiorentina’s last 10 games have featured over 2.5 goals, and Italiano’s men have scored 25 goals in those 10 outings.

With Genoa failing to score in six of their last nine league contests, it shouldn’t take much for the hosts to beat a -1 handicap, which looks a strong play for this fixture. Meanwhile, a 3-0 home win could be a decent correct score prediction.
