ACF Fiorentina return to the Stadio Artemio Franchi aiming to move one step closer to Serie A safety when they host a resilient Genoa CFC side that has already secured survival.

Fiorentina suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat against AS Roma in their last outing, but La Viola remain in a relatively comfortable position above the relegation zone. Despite that setback, Fiorentina have only lost twice in their previous 12 Serie A matches and continue to show strong defensive organisation at home.

The hosts are unbeaten in their last six home league games and have conceded just once during their previous five Serie A fixtures at the Artemio Franchi. However, Fiorentina’s recent struggles in attack remain a concern after failing to score in their last two league matches.

Genoa, meanwhile, secured their Serie A survival after a hard-fought goalless draw against Atalanta BC. Daniele De Rossi’s men have become difficult opponents to break down away from home and have consistently produced disciplined defensive displays in recent weeks.

The visitors are unbeaten in all four away league matches this season against teams currently below them in the table and could once again frustrate Fiorentina in what looks likely to be a balanced contest.

Team News

Fiorentina will assess the fitness of Roberto Piccoli closer to kick-off after the forward struggled with injury concerns recently. Albert Guðmundsson is expected to play a key role in attack after his strong record against Genoa.

Genoa remain without Junior Messias, but Lorenzo Colombo should continue leading the line after several important performances this season.

Head-to-Head Record

Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last ten meetings with Genoa and have not lost a home league game against the visitors since 1977. Four of the previous five encounters between the sides have seen both teams score.

Key Players to Watch

Albert Guðmundsson – Fiorentina

Guðmundsson scored in the reverse fixture and has now avoided defeat in each of his last 12 scoring appearances at club level.

Lorenzo Colombo – Genoa

Colombo scored in the reverse fixture earlier this season and remains one of Genoa’s most dangerous attacking players.

Fiorentina vs Genoa Prediction

Both sides have shown strong defensive improvement recently, but historical trends and recent head-to-head meetings suggest goals at both ends remain highly possible. Fiorentina’s home consistency should help them remain competitive, while Genoa’s organised away performances make them difficult opponents to beat.

With neither side likely to fully dominate proceedings, a closely contested draw appears the most likely outcome.

Predicted Score

Fiorentina 1-1 Genoa
