Genoa take on the visitors Fiorentina in the round 10 match of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Thursday, October 31st at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).
Genoa played in Serie B two seasons ago but didn’t linger there long, successfully returning to Serie A under Gilardino, who took over mid-season. Last season in Serie A, they managed to gather around fifty points, finishing 11th right at mid-table. However, after letting Dragusin go in January, selling Retegui over the summer, loaning Gudjohnsen to Fiorentina, and losing Malinovskyi to a serious injury, the team has struggled. Now, with only one Serie A victory and an early cup exit after losing the derby to Sampdoria, they find themselves in the relegation zone. Discussions with Balotelli were well-timed (they came to an agreement), and Gastón Pereiro joined as a free agent. Without Super Mario, Lazio easily defeated Genoa 0-3.

Fiorentina gaining momentum this fall. The Violets have been managed by Italiano in recent seasons. Both in 2023 and last spring, they saw identical outcomes: 8th in Serie A and losses in the Conference League finals. They’re looking to improve under Palladino, the young coach poached from Monza, where he twice kept them in Italy’s top division. Raffaele’s start at his new club wasn’t easy: five consecutive draws (including both legs of the Conference League qualifier against Puskás Academy, whom they eventually ousted on penalties) and a loss to Atalanta. But since late September, they have won most of their matches, including last week's 4-2 European victory over St. Gallen away and a decisive 5-1 win over Roma.
The Viola squad has won only one of the last three matches. Genoa doesn’t inspire confidence, with the visitors in strong form and the hosts clearly struggling. Bet on Fiorentina to secure yet another consecutive win.
Prediction for the match: Fiorentina to win.
