An important duel in the bottom section of the Serie A, with both Fiorentina and Genoa experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 19th place.
- Fiorentina have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Genoa is in the worst form (0-1-5)
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Fiorentina form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie A, Fiorentina have managed 2 wins, 0 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.
G. Castrovilli was the last player to score a league goal for Fiorentina and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Fiorentina haven't scored in 399 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager C. Prandelli led his Fiorentina to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Milan. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Artemio Franchi. In the game before, an away victory in the Coppa Italia match versus Udinese (after extra-time) with a 1-0 scoreline.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Fiorentina matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, three draws and one defeat (from five games).
Fiorentina are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games. Fiorentina's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 5 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Genoa form and stats
As the visiting team in Serie A matches, Genoa, who have the fewest scored goals (1) away in Serie A, have produced an overall stat of 0-2-2 so far. It's looking increasingly bleak for Genoa who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Sampdoria was the last time a defeat was avoided.
Genoa might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Parma proved too strong as Genoa slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Sampdoria at their stadium, the result 3-1.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Genoa playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, two draws and zero home wins.
Goals are few and far between in Genoa's away league games. Only 1 goal from 4 travels. The Genoa manager R. Maran has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Fiorentina, six draws and two wins for Genoa. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games.Top Goalscorers
