Latest football match prediction: Genoa vs Fiorentina

Genoa currently sit third from bottom of the table after nine matches, having just suffered a 0-3 defeat against Lazio, marking a slow start to their Serie A season. The team has only scored seven goals, demonstrating a weak attacking performance, putting immense pressure on coach Alberto Gilardino to improve their results.

Recently, the club's management approved a contract with Mario Balotelli, hoping he will help support star striker Andrea Pinamonti, although Balotelli's availability for Thursday's match is uncertain due to his fitness level not being up to par.

Conversely, Fiorentina are showing impressive form with two Conference League wins and 13 points from a possible 15 in Serie A recently. They have scored 15 goals in their last three matches, including a 5-1 win against Roma, with Moise Kean scoring two goals. Fiorentina are currently just two points behind Inter Milan and are looking for a third consecutive away win against Genoa, which would create the longest winning streak in the history of the two teams' encounters.

With Genoa struggling to score and missing several key players, they will have to do their best to defend their goal against the pressure from Fiorentina. Coach Gilardino may face another tough match against his former team.
