Genoa vs. Fiorentina: Current situation
You will not find many worse teams in Europe than Genoa at the moment. “The Old Fool” are just terrible, losing four of their last five games and being in the relegation zone. What makes things even more difficult than just losing is the way this team plays, as they are barely keeping the pace in any stretch of the recent games. Things looked way better at the beginning of the season, as they won a point in the opener against Inter and then defeated Monza on the road, which happened to be their only win of the season.
It’s been a while since Fiorentina has been really competitive in the Serie A, and this may be the year that will launch the Violets to the Champions League. After a slow start to the season, the team from Florence has been unstoppable in recent weeks. They are coming off an impressive 5-1 win over Roma last weekend, which was fifth consecutive in all competitions. The fact that they scored 15 goals in the last three games is just unreal, and with that offensive power, Fiorentina can beat anybody at the moment.
Genoa Stats & Form
Genoa is just terrible at the moment, and as things look at this point of the season, they will have a tough time avoiding relegation. Genoa has 6 losses in their last 8 games, and besides the 2-2 draw in Bologna, they lost the last three Serie A games by a margin of -10. It’s been more than two months since their last win and more than five since their last home win in an official game. Genoa is the only team in the league that made four penalties and is 17th in the league with only three shots on goal per game. Andrea Pinamonti leads the team with 3 goals so far in the season.
Fiorentina Stats & Form
After the impressive performance against Roma, Fiorentina has climbed to fourth place in the standings and has only one loss in nine games so far in the season. Fiorentina has 7 wins and only one loss in the last ten games, which speaks enough of the level this team has played at recently. The Violets are third in the league scoring 2.2 goals per game, are ranked third in the league in goal expected, shots on target, long passes, accurate long balls per game, and second in saves per game. Moise Kean leads the team with four goals so far in the season.

In three of the last four games between these teams, Fiorentina scored at least two goals.

Betting tip and prediction: Genoa - Fiorentina (31.10.2024)
Raffaele Palladino spent four seasons in two stints playing for Genoa, and on Thursday he will be coaching against his old team for the first time as Fiorentina’s manager. He was the man who took Monza to the elite for the first time in the club’s history and now has rejuvenated Fiorentina in his first season with the Violets. Fiorentina is on an absolute scoring spree with an average of 5 goals in the last three Serie A games. Given the fact that they are visiting one of the worst defensive teams in the league, Fiorentina does not plan to stop any time soon. However, they will miss strikers Albert Gudmundsson and Moise Kean, who combined for 7 of the team’s 20 goals so far in the season. Defender Marin Pongracic is also out for the Violets. Things are even worse for Genoa. Starting goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini is out with an injury, just like defenders Mattia Bani, Koni De Winter, and Brooke Norton-Cuffy, midfielders Milan Badelj and Ruslan Malinovsky, and strikers Caleb Ekuban, Junior Messias, and Vitinha. Even with their full roster ready, Genoa would not be very competitive in this game, and in the current situation, this will be a one-way street with Fiorentina scoring at least a pair of goals.
