Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Following a 3-0 loss to Lazio at Stadio Olimpico, Genoa will look to get back on course in the Serie A when they take on Fiorentina on Matchday 10. The Rossoblu have been struggling at the back of late, conceding 13 goals in total in the last four league matches and they must be low on confidence ahead of Thursday’s Serie A game. All Malinovskyi, Messias, and Ekuban are sidelined with injuries, while Ankeye, Norton-Cuffy, and Bani are major doubts.
The Viola, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in all competitions. Given their excellent performance in a 5-1 crushing of AS Roma, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. In their last meeting at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris Fiorentina outplayed Genoa 4-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. Both Mandragora and Gudmundsson are injured for the visitors, while centre-back Marin Pongracic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
