This match will only last 62 minutes due to the original scheduling being abandoned at 0-0 after 28 minutes because of heavy rain.
Genoa vs Fiorentina Preview
Genoa boss Ivan Juric is expected to keep faith with his side despite the loss to Inter last time out. Leonardo Pavoletti is the only injured player in the squad. Nicola Ninkovic is likely to be used as an impact sub, with Simeone and Ocampos leading the attack.
Fiorentina will make use of Carlos Salcedo here before he serves a suspension against Lazio at the weekend. Hrvoje Milic and Cristian Tello are in line for recalls after starting from the bench against Sassuolo. Borja Valero is doubtful but Viola have an otherwise fully fit squad.

Genoa 3-4-1-1 formation: Perin; Munoz, Burdisso, Izzo; Laxalt, Veloso, Rincon, Lazovic; Rigoni; Simeone, Ocampos
Fiorentina 4-2-3-1 formation: Tatarusanu; Milic, Astori, Rodriguez, Salcedo; Badelj, Vecino; Tello, Ilicic, Bernardeschi; Kalanic

Genoa vs Fiorentina Prediction
Genoa come into this match on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Internazionale. The 0-0 draw away to Chievo that preceded that loss means they have now failed to score for two consecutive matches. Rossoblu cannot be underestimated on their own turf though, as Juventus found out to their detriment a few weeks ago.
Fiorentina arrive in good heart, their 2-1 success over Sassuolo being their third win in a row. That result followed wins by the same scoreline away to Qarabag in the Europa League and at home to Palermo in Serie A. Nikola Kalinic has 8 league goals to his name this season and gives the visitors an edge in the attack.
Fiorentina are undefeated in their last 13 matches against Genoa in all competitions. Genoa have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 4 matches against Fiorentina and given the reduced minutes in this match, that could well be the case once more. As good as Genoa have been at home, I feel Fiorentina are in good form and can nick this by a single goal.
