Fiorentina’s Five-Game Winning Streak Faces Genoa Test
Resurgent Fiorentina Aim to Extend Run
ACF Fiorentina’s remarkable resurgence under Vincenzo Italiano continues as they prepare to take on Genoa CFC in Serie A on Saturday. The Viola have won five consecutive matches, including impressive victories over Atalanta and Udinese, and will be confident of extending their winning streak against a struggling Genoa side.
Genoa’s Struggles Continue
In contrast to Fiorentina’s recent form, Genoa have endured a difficult start to the season and currently languish in the relegation zone. They have lost six of their last eight matches, including a 3-0 defeat to Juventus last weekend. Genoa’s poor form has been attributed to a number of factors, including injuries, lack of squad depth, and a lack of confidence.
Key Players to Watch
Fiorentina: Dusan Vlahovic, the Serbian striker, has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 10 goals in his last nine matches. He will be the main threat to Genoa’s defense.
Genoa: Mattia Destro, the Italian striker, is Genoa’s leading scorer this season with four goals. He will need to be at his best if Genoa are to have any chance of causing an upset.
Betting Odds and Predictions
Fiorentina are clear favorites for the match, with Bet365 offering odds of 1.75 for a home win. Genoa are priced at 4.33 for an away win, while the draw is available at 3.60.
Based on the current form of both teams, Fiorentina are likely to be too strong for Genoa. The Viola are playing with confidence and have a number of in-form players, while Genoa are struggling for results and confidence.
