Fiorentina

After tasting defeat last time out to AC Milan in Serie A competition, Fiorentina and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

At the other end, AC Milan got 13 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Zlatan Ibrahimović (9'), Brahim Díaz (57') and Hakan Çalhanoğlu (72') scored for AC Milan.

The average number of goals per match during that spell is 3.83, with the average number of goals for Fiorentina being 2.17.

Fiorentina boss Giuseppe Iachini has not got a full squad to pick from. Aleksandr Kokorin (Hip Injury) and Igor (Unknown Injury) will miss out on this game.
💭 Prediction
Our assessment here is that Genoa will need to push hard to be putting a goal past this Fiorentina lineup who we think might manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Fiorentina at the end of the 90 minutes.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
