Prediction: 2-1
Fiorentina
After playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Roma at Stadio Olimpico, Genoa will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Fiorentina at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in their first home game of the season. The Rossoblu showed character in their opener, with the team coming from behind to share the spoils with the Giallorossi in the “Eternal City” and they are definitely capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s football game against Fiorentina.
The Viola experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 home loss to Napoli, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on Aurelio Andreazzoli’s troops. Ivory Coast rising star Christian Kouame, who found the net in the 3-3 draw with Roma, is likely to pose a big threat for Fiorentina defenders.

Highlighted Player (Oscar Hiljemark):
Oscar Hiljemark is a central midfielder who won the Under-21 European Championship with Sweden in 2015 and has also started to leave his mark on the senior national team. His talent was spotted early on as a number of Swedish sides battled for the player’s signature before he penned a professional contract with Elfsborg.
Following some impressive performances in Swedish Allsvenskan, Hiljemark was purchased by PSV Eindhoven, where he somewhat struggled for playing time, but that did not stop Serie A side Palermo from offering him an escape route from Dutch Eredivisie. The central midfielder enjoyed a brilliant start to his career in Italy, scoring several important goals in the opening exchanges, and he was in turn linked with the likes of Southampton, West Ham, AC Milan and Napoli, among other clubs.
While making several appearances for Blagult even before said success with the Under-21 side, Hiljemark only secured his place in the senior team after the aforementioned trophy, and he is tipped to prove a worthy successor to long-serving midfielder Kim Kallstrom.
