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.

In that match, Fiorentina had 39% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. For Fiorentina, the scorers were Erick Pulgar (17') and Franck Ribéry (51'). 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.

💭 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.
