Team News

Fiorentina
Genoa
  • Jordan Veretout is back available after serving his suspension.
  • Luis Muriel and Giovanni Simeone are both expected to start up front.
  • Cristian Romero skipped the last game due to a ban, but he will be back in defence here.
  • Giuseppe Pezzella will make room for him since he is suspended in turn.

Prediction

  • Fiorentina have lost five games in a row and winless in their last 13. They are remarkably at risk of being relegated, but that can only happen if they lose this game and Empoli win in San Siro. It's unlikely both will occur, but not out of the question.
  • Genoa head into the weekend in the bottom three and need to better Empoli's result in order to survive.
  • Expect a conversative start from both teams, as the consequences of defeat are huge. If Empoli are on course to take a point against Inter, expect Genoa to attack more as then only three points here will be enough to survive.

  • I love opposing any Montella team :)

  • Interesting game, albeit probably not gonna be a spectacular one. Anyway, shame on both teams for having to struggle like this now, given that they are nowhere near relegation battle usuals.
