Fiorentina take on the visitors Genoa in the round 32 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Monday, April 15th at Stadio Artemio Franchi (Florence).
Fiorentina constantly plays every 3-4 days. Viola are in their third season under the guidance of Italiano. Vincenzo took over the team with ambitions and a glorious history but had long been unimpressive in terms of results. He immediately managed to lift his new charges to 7th place, and in 2023, they played in a couple of finals. They lost then, but it's quite possible that the Viola will get another chance to achieve more. They have already won 1-0 in the Coppa Italia semifinal against Atalanta, but this is only the first match, and they need to at least hold out in Bergamo. In addition, only on Thursday, the Italians opened their confrontation with Viktoria (Plzen) in the quarterfinals of the Conference League. It ended in a goalless draw, and everything will be decided in Florence. There were hopes for progress in Serie A as well, but it seems that the overloaded schedule is hindering success there. A 0-1 defeat to Juventus even pushed them back to the middle of the table, precisely to 10th position.

Genoa can compete in terms of the number of trophies with many, including the Viola. Yes, they haven't shown much for a long time, but new investors from the USA appeared in Genoa in the penultimate season. However, the example of Chelsea demonstrates that this is far from a guarantee of success - often the opposite. In Italy, too, the Americans made many mistakes, including the decision to appoint Shevchenko as head coach. But another well-known former striker, Gilardino, managed to flourish in such a role. However, he started during the 2022/2023 season in Serie B, where the club dropped. Fortunately, they immediately returned, precisely under Alberto's leadership. Moreover, at the new-old level, the team turned out to be quite competitive. It couldn't claim anything significant, but it confidently holds its place among the mid-table teams. As often happens, this starts to have a calming effect in spring. Even this newcomer to Serie A didn't win several rounds in a row. However, during this time, they managed a goalless draw with Juventus, even away. And in the last round, they secured a determined victory over Verona 2-1.
Despite the overall advantage of the Viola, there have been enough draws. But already three times in a row, the representative of Florence managed to secure victory in their encounters, ending 4-1 away in August last year. The hosts are considered the clear favorites in this match. However, they are distracted by other tournaments, so it's worth betting that the in-form The Griffin will not lose.
Prediction for the match: Genoa not to lose (X2).
