H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Genoa's season got off to a rocky start, with the team suffering losses in most matches and quickly finding themselves at the bottom of the table. After a home defeat to Cremonese (0-2), the management decided to part ways with Patrick Vieira, and this decision immediately paid off. In the last round, the Griffins secured an away victory against Sassuolo (2-1), who have been playing quality football. Genoa had to play defensively, but they showed character and achieved their first win of the season. These three points allowed them to climb off the bottom and move up to 18th place.
🔵 Recently, Daniele De Rossi was appointed as the head coach of the club. The 42-year-old specialist and former Italy international signed a contract until June 2026, with an option for an additional season. The match against Sassuolo was played without him at the helm, but now De Rossi will be tasked with building a new game model, and the upcoming rounds will be indicative of his initial steps in charge of Genoa.

Fiorentina Team Overview
🟣 Fiorentina are not faring any better than Genoa. After ten rounds, they find themselves at the bottom of the table with just 4 points. In their last outing, the Viola suffered a home defeat to Lecce (0-1), a result that proved to be the final straw for the club's management, leading to Stefano Pioli's dismissal. Unlike Genoa, the coaching change did not bring an immediate turnaround: on November 6, Fiorentina fell to Mainz (1-2) away in the Conference League, despite putting up a performance that matched their opponents.
⚪ On November 7, the day of the match against Mainz, the club officially announced the appointment of their new head coach, 53-year-old Paolo Vanoli. The experienced tactician has previously managed in Italy with Torino and Venezia. The upcoming clash against Genoa will serve as his first real test and an opportunity to restore the team's confidence.

Latest news
Genoa
📣 Following their 2-1 victory over Sassuolo, Genoa's interim head coach Roberto Murgita reflected on the match: "We knew we were up against a strong team. After their goal, we kept our composure, continued to believe, and ultimately secured an important victory that shows we're still in the game. This is a first step forward and an opportunity to work with a renewed mindset."
🚫 Genoa face just one personnel issue: Ruslan Malinovskyi will miss the upcoming match due to a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards.
Fiorentina
📣 Following their 2-1 defeat to Mainz in the Conference League, Fiorentina's interim head coach Daniele Galloppa shared his thoughts on the match: "We lacked composure in the opposition's box and concentration in our own. This is a tough blow for the guys, and they need us by their side right now. We can't run away; fears are only overcome when you keep creating and moving forward."
🚫 Fiorentina's injury list continues to grow. Robin Gosens and Tariq Lamptey are recovering from hip and knee injuries, respectively, with their return expected by mid-November. The participation of Abdelhamid Sabiri and Christian Kouamé remains doubtful as they continue their recovery from injuries.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Both teams are struggling significantly with converting chances, which largely explains their positions at the lower end of the table. Genoa have netted just 6 goals in 10 matches, while Fiorentina have managed 7, with only Parma faring worse with 5. Given this lack of scoring prowess, it's reasonable to anticipate a cautious game with few opportunities, especially as this marks the debut match for both De Rossi and Vanoli. The bet is on under 2.5 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Head-to-head encounters between Genoa and Fiorentina rarely see a high number of corners-under 9.5 corners has been the outcome in their last 5 Serie A meetings. Both teams often adopt a cautious approach, particularly in evenly matched contests where discipline and defensive compactness are crucial. Therefore, it's unlikely this upcoming match will deviate from that trend.
Editorial Prediction
According to bookmakers, there's no clear favorite in the upcoming clash, which makes sense given both teams' poor starts to the season. Victory could go either way, with much hinging on details and individual errors. This match is strategic: the winner not only secures three points and climbs the table but also leaves a direct rival in the relegation battle empty-handed. In such a scenario, expect cautious, defensive football with few chances created. The most sensible bet is under 2.5 goals, especially since both teams struggle to score. If we were to make a guess, a 0-0 draw seems likely on the scoreboard.
