In the tenth round of Italy’s Serie A, Genoa will face Fiorentina in Genoa on Thursday, October 31. The match is scheduled to start at 18:30 Central European Time. Experts from Dailysports have provided a prediction for this game.
Genoa
Genoa has been in turbulence since the start of the season and has yet to escape it. The team has fallen into the relegation zone and has one of the weakest defenses in the league.
Coach Gilardino is trying to pull the team out of this difficult situation. Numerous injuries have thwarted the plans of the “Griffins,” who are on the verge of signing the eccentric Mario Balotelli.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina has shown some inconsistency in results. The team has many draws but only one loss on its record.
Their last three games have been outstanding. First, they defeated AC Milan at home, then humiliated Lecce away (6-0), and capped it off by destroying Roma (5-1). After nine matches, Fiorentina sits in fourth place.
Match Facts
- Genoa has not won in eight consecutive games.
- Fiorentina is on a five-game winning streak.
- Genoa averages 0.8 goals per game at home, while Fiorentina averages 2.8 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Genoa: Leali, Vasquez, Matturro, Marcandalli, Martin, Miretti, Frendrup, Melegoni, Sabelli, Thorsby, Pinamonti.
