Fiorentina were dealt a crushing defeat in the last round's match. The Lilies faced Roma at the Olimpico and, from the start, ran into trouble. Already in the 13th minute the Wolves went ahead thanks to Mancini's goal. Vanoli's players hadn't even had time to react when the Giallorossi doubled the lead. Ermoso scored the third goal for his team in the 34th minute, and the winner was effectively decided. Despite this, Gasperini's charges continued to attack and create chances. One of those chances led to a fourth goal. And if not for De Gea's actions, there could have been more. In the previous round Fiorentina hosted Sassuolo. The Lilies played brilliantly, dominated confidently, created many chances, but could not score. However, Sassuolo, the Neroverdi, also failed to score. Genoa faced Atalanta last Saturday. The opponents exchanged chances at the start of the match and produced a very even first half. But after the break only the Bergamaschi remained on the pitch. The Goddess created many chances but could not convert any. In the previous round Genoa lost to Como 0-2. The first-round meeting ended in a productive 2-2 draw. In each half the teams exchanged goals, and even so had many opportunities for more goals. It is worth noting that in the last five head-to-head games the offered bet lost only once. Consider some statistical metrics of the teams. Fiorentina underperforms in xG. Statistically, the Florentines should have scored 11.84 goals more than they have. The Lilies also have an xGA deficit of 4.39 goals. Genoa, in away matches, should have conceded 2.92 goals more. And by xG the Griffins underperformed by three goals. Both clubs have not been scoring for two rounds. It is quite likely that the goalless streak will be broken in the upcoming match. Fiorentina has mathematical chances to play in a match to preserve their league status. Therefore the motivation of Paolo Vanoli's players will be somewhat higher. However Genoa is unlikely to simply go through the motions at Artemio Franchi. It is quite likely that the match will be productive.
