Fiorentina vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
Fiorentina's recent home results in the league are unimpressive, with no wins in their last three matches. A noticeable decline in attacking play is evident, as Raffaele Palladino's side has not scored more than one goal in their last four home Serie A games. Moreover, during this period, Fiorentina faced teams with less reliable defenses: Cagliari, Udinese, Torino.
Genoa can provide stiff resistance in this match, having lost only to Roma in their last six away league matches. During this period, Genoa showcased solid defensive performances, keeping clean sheets in four instances and conceding more than one goal only to Roma. Additionally, in 5 of the last 6 head-to-head encounters at Fiorentina's ground in Serie A, Genoa allowed the opponent to score no more than once.
I expect another solid defensive display from Genoa. My prediction: Fiorentina Individual Total Under 1.5
