Genoa vs Fiorentina Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Not necessarily expected to be in such difficulty this season, Genoa is currently 18th in Serie A and has the same number of points as the first non-relegation team. Ruslan Malinovskyi's teammates have had a disastrous start to the championship. Indeed, they have not gleaned any success during the first nine days: 3 draws and 6 defeats. After defeats against Torino 2-1 and Cremonese 0-2, coach Patrick Vieira was dismissed. With interim Roberto Murgita, Genoa finally won its first victory at Sassuolo last Monday 1-2.

Used to fighting for the European folding seats, Fiorentina is worrying all its fans at the start of the season. The Tuscans have still not pocketed a single victory, 4 draws and 6 defeats and quite simply occupy the last place in Serie A with 2 points behind their opponent of the day. After holding their own at home to Bologna, they lost to Inter 3-0 and Lecce last weekend 0-1. Dismissed at the start of the week, coach Stefano Pioli did not survive this start to the championship unworthy of the Viola's ambitions. 

Looking at the recent head-to-head record, Fiorentina have generally had the upper hand in this fixture, winning several of the last encounters, including a 1-0 victory at the Luigi Ferraris last season. Genoa, however, will be hoping to capitalize on home advantage and the passionate support of their fans, who continue to fill the stands despite the team’s struggles. The tactical battle is expected to be intriguing, with Genoa likely to adopt a cautious approach, focusing on defensive solidity after conceding multiple goals in recent matches. Fiorentina, on the other hand, will try to impose themselves with more possession and creativity, though their lack of cutting edge in Serie A has been a recurring issue.

With both teams desperate for points and struggling to score freely, this match has all the makings of a cagey affair decided by fine margins. Genoa’s inability to convert chances and Fiorentina’s defensive lapses suggest that one decisive moment could settle the contest. Given Fiorentina’s slightly stronger record in this matchup and their occasional flashes of quality in Europe, they may just edge it. The prediction here is a narrow away win, with Fiorentina claiming a 0-1 victory at the Luigi Ferraris, a result that would deepen Genoa’s relegation worries while offering the Viola a much-needed boost in their domestic campaign.
