Fiorentina vs Genoa Prediction & Betting Tips (15 April)

Fiorentina is currently 10th in Serie A and, with 1 game less, is 5 points behind 7th. Despite a slight delay, achieving European qualification is still possible. Slowing down for several weeks, the Tuscans have only won one of their last 7 championship matches, for 3 draws and 3 defeats. They remain on two losses suffered against AC Milan 1-2 and at Juventus last weekend 1-0. Always present in the Italian Cup, the Viola won their semi-final first leg played at home against Atalanta 1-0. In the Europa League conference on Thursday, they brought home a good 0-0 draw at Viktoria Plzen.

Back in the elite this season, Genoa is doing well by staying a good distance from the red zone. Indeed, Genoa today occupies 12th place in Serie A with 12 points ahead of the first relegation place. The home stretch of the championship therefore does not pose a big challenge for this team. This materializes in a drop in performance since Alberto Gilardino's men have only gleaned 2 successes in the last 9 days, for 4 draws and 3 defeats. Last weekend, they managed to win against a poorly ranked Hellas Verona 1-2.

Spared by injuries at the moment, Fiorentina can count on its entire squad this weekend. Not very effective since his arrival in January, Andrea Belotti (1 goal in 9 SA matches with the Viola) continues his tenure on the attacking front. He could start again this weekend and be supported by the Argentinians Nico Gonzalez (7 goals and 2 assists in SA) and Beltran (6 goals and 2 assists in SA). For Genoa, it is necessary to mention the defections of the former Marseillais Malinovskyi and Vitinha, the substitute Cittadini and the young Uruguayan defender Matturo (19 years old).

The good news comes from the return from suspension of Italian international Retegui (6 goals in SA). In his absence, replacement Ekuban (3 goals in SA) found the net last weekend as did the essential Gudmundsson (12 goals and 3 assists in SA).
