Comments and predictions for Genoa vs Fiorentina: Home team faces big challenge

Latest Genoa vs Fiorentina team information

Genoa are going through a difficult period with many injuries, including main goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini and important players such as Junior Messias, Mattia Bani, Ruslan Malinovskyi, and Vitinha.

Mario Balotelli was signed outside the transfer window but has yet to hit top form, while Andrea Pinamonti continues to be the main striker, having scored three goals against Fiorentina in previous meetings with different clubs.

Fiorentina are also without Albert Gudmundsson, Rolando Mandragora and Marin Pongracic through injury. Pietro Comuzzo, who has been in fine form of late, is also a doubt with an ankle sprain.

With a tight schedule ahead, Fiorentina could make some changes to their starting lineup to maintain their form. The upcoming match will be an opportunity for both teams to show their strength amid an injury crisis.

Latest expected lineup Genoa vs Fiorentina

Genoa:

Leali; Sabelli, Vogliacco, Vasquez, Matturro; Zanoli, Badelj, Frendrup, Martin; Miretti; Pinamonti

Latest football commentary Genoa vs Fiorentina

Genoa are currently third from bottom in the table after nine games, having suffered a 3-0 defeat to Lazio in what has been a slow start to their Serie A campaign. They have scored just seven goals, reflecting a lack of attacking output, leaving coach Alberto Gilardino under pressure to improve his form.

The board of directors recently approved the signing of Mario Balotelli, hoping that he will help support key striker Andrea Pinamonti, although Balotelli's ability to play on Thursday is uncertain due to his lack of fitness.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, have been in impressive form, with two wins in the Conference League and 13 points from a possible 15 in Serie A recently. They have scored 15 goals in their last three games, including a 5-1 win over Roma, with Moise Kean scoring twice. Fiorentina are now just two points behind Inter Milan and are looking for a third successive away win against Genoa, which would make their longest winning streak in the history of the two sides.

With Genoa struggling to score and missing several key players, they will have to do their best to defend against Fiorentina, and Gilardino could face another tough game against his former club.
