At Stadio Luigi Ferraris on 9 November 2025, Genoa welcome Fiorentina in a Serie A fixture that pairs two sides at the lower end of the table but moving in different emotional directions. The hosts are buoyed by a much-needed victory, while the visitors arrive amid turbulence and uncertainty.
Genoa Reenergised Under New Guidance
After a difficult opening to the campaign, Genoa finally found relief with a 2–1 away win over Sassuolo - their first league triumph of the season. The change in the dugout appears to have had an immediate impact, as the team displayed greater attacking intent and sharper transitions. Back at home, Genoa will look to build on that renewed energy, hoping to continue climbing out of danger. Confidence among the supporters has also returned, with expectations of another positive performance against a struggling opponent.
Fiorentina Under Pressure
For Fiorentina, the situation remains concerning. Ten rounds into the Serie A campaign, the Viola are still searching for their first victory and find themselves anchored near the bottom of the standings. Their latest defeat at home proved to be the breaking point, resulting in a managerial change. While Fiorentina boast an impressive record against Genoa - unbeaten in their last nine meetings - the current instability and lack of confidence make this trip particularly challenging. The team’s defensive fragility and missed chances continue to undermine their efforts.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
Both sides are in transition, yet Genoa’s attacking resurgence and Fiorentina’s desperate need for a breakthrough could create an open, end-to-end contest. The hosts’ confidence and the visitors’ quality in forward areas suggest opportunities for goals on both sides. The selection is Both Teams to Score – Yes.
