The Serie A weekend stretches into Monday this week, and we have two games taking place. The first of those is a mid table clash, that sees Fiorentina host Genoa, with the pair coming here separated by two places in the standings, both with little to realistically play for
Fiorentina Form GuideI think there's signs for all to see that Fiorentina are coasting towards the end of the season. They come here on the back of failing to win any of their last four games, with two draws first in that period and then more recently, two defeats.
Last weekend they lost 1-0 away at Juventus, a side who are in 3rd, but struggling at the moment, and their other recent loss was a 2-1 home defeat to AC Milan. To further add to their troubles, Fiorentina were held to a draw in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, in their away quarter final clash against Viktoria Plzen.
Genoa Form GuideGenoa are a couple of places and five points behind Fiorentina as we go into the weekend. A win here would give them a solid chance of overtaking them in the standings between now and the end of the season. They come here on a run of three games unbeaten, with one win and two draws in that period. It's been a pretty solid season, and with seven games to go, it's all about finishing it off well for Genoa.
They won their most recent game, a 2-1 away success against Verona, a side who are in the relegation zone. Before that, two draws in a row, a 1-1 home tie with Frosinone and a better result before that, a 0-0 away tie with Juventus, who are currently third in the standings.
Match PredictionI think the value in this game is all with the away side. For a team who come here four games without a win, I think Fiorentina are short in the betting. Instead, I will take Genoa on the double chance market, which covers them to win the game or it to end in a draw.
