Fiorentina - Genoa Prediction, Picks and Tips
Fiorentina approaches the match with Genoa with a very good morale. The viola band comes after a spectacular success in the Italian Cup, 5-2 on the field of Napoli, one of the title contenders. And for almost a half, Fiorentina played with one less man. The success of the Cup, which brought her the qualification of Fiorentina in the quarterfinals of the competition, also increased the morale of Vincenzo Italiano's team. The viola team had not won in Serie A for three stages, since the 4-0 victory against Salernitana, at the beginning of December. Dusah Vlahovic, the team's top scorer, scored again in the match at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona and reached a total of 19 goals scored in all competitions. If he doesn't leave the team in this market window, the Serb will definitely leave in the summer. Fiorentina is on the 6th place in the championship, but the difference compared to the 4th place, the last one leading in the Champions League is 9 points. And the fight for the top 4 seems to be fiercer than ever. All the top 5 teams are strong and fit, so victory at this stage is a must. In the matches played on Artemio Franchi, 9 in number, Fiorentina has 6 wins, one draw and two defeats. In the last 5 home games, the viola band has 4 wins and a draw. In fact, the draw with Sassuolo interrupted a series of 5 consecutive victories on their own field for Fiorentina.
Griffons are in a very weak shape. The team coached by Andriy Shevchenko is not doomed to relegation, but the fight to stay in Serie A will be extremely difficult. If the game of Genoa does not increase, in the next period, the crisis will deepen even more. And implicitly the chances of salvation. And when we talk about the crisis, we notice the drought of the team in the championship. Only three points scored by the Griffins in 8 rounds in Serie A, which have only one success in all matches played this season. The only advantage of Shevchenko's students is the difference of only 5 points compared to Venice. However, the gap may widen in the next period. However, a trace of hope comes from the Griffins' last game. Even though they were eliminated from the Cup, Genoa ended the match with Milan, at the San Siro, at the end of the 90 minutes. Shevchenko's students led Milan for almost 60 minutes and in some places, they showed good moments of play. In away matches, the team does not have a good run. The only victory in the championship came away from the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Plus another 5 draws. And with a negative goal difference, after the 12 goals scored and 21 conceded. Mattia Destro is the team's top scorer, with 8 goals in 13 games. UPDATE: Shevchenko fired by Genoa!
