Genoa have taken one point from five Serie A games and host a Fiorentina side on four, with Lorenzo Colombo out through an ankle sprain.

The visitors' away scoring and Genoa's 0-1-2 home league record lean towards Fiorentina, but the last two meetings both finished level. Fiorentina to win at 2.25 asks for more than that case supports, while corners over 9.5 at 2.4 is the only quoted price with an edge.

Context

Genoa have taken one point from five Serie A matches, and De Rossi has said the Fiorentina game is 'una partita da vincere' — a side set up to chase a win rather than protect a point. That framing matters because his team has conceded in every league outing so far, so the approach and selection carry unusual weight for a sixth-round fixture. Former Genoa striker Gigi Pruzzo went further, saying a defeat could cost De Rossi his job, though the club president has publicly backed him. The sacking talk is pundit speculation rather than a confirmed decision, so it should be read as pressure, not a settled outcome.
- Genoa have taken one point from their opening five Serie A matches, and De Rossi told La Gazzetta dello Sport he will not change his demeanour to deflect blame.
- De Rossi on the Fiorentina game: 'Con la Fiorentina vogliamo fare punti, è una partita da vincere'.
- Genoa's president publicly backed De Rossi after the one-point start, while former striker Gigi Pruzzo said a defeat could cost him his job.

Fiorentina changed coach early in the season, dismissing Fabio Grosso on 6 September and bringing back Paolo Vanoli, who had left the club in June. Vanoli has described a young, up-and-down squad and stressed that his return is not about revenge, while telling Sky Sport the team should not set limits. That matters here because the tactical identity for the Genoa trip is still being built, and Vanoli himself has admitted he does not yet know the side's true level. Fiorentina's form under him remains mixed, so this reads as a side in transition rather than a settled plan.
- Fiorentina dismissed Fabio Grosso on 6 September 2026 and reappointed Paolo Vanoli, who had left the club in June.
- Vanoli told Sky Sport his return is 'niente rivincite' and that the team must not set limits: 'Non dobbiamo porci limiti'.

Mastantuono is on loan at Fiorentina from Real Madrid and spent the October window with Argentina, scoring his first senior international goal in a 7-0 rout of Burkina Faso. His return raises a live selection question: Vanoli praised his humility but stressed he must adapt to Serie A, while former goalkeeper Giovanni Galli predicted he would start on the bench at Genoa. How quickly Fiorentina reintegrate him after international travel shapes their attacking setup for this trip. His form is a genuine boost, but the exact role rests on how much rest the staff give him and is not yet confirmed.
- Franco Mastantuono, on loan at Fiorentina from Real Madrid, scored his first senior Argentina goal in a 7-0 win over Burkina Faso during the October window.
- Vanoli praised Mastantuono's humility but said he must grow in a tactically demanding league; former goalkeeper Giovanni Galli predicted he would start on the bench against Genoa.
- Franco Mastantuono started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups, totalling 374 minutes across 5 appearances.

Colombo suffered a left-ankle sprain in Genoa's 2 October friendly defeat at Rapid Bucharest, and Di Marzio reported that he will miss this fixture while the injury is reassessed in the coming weeks. That removes a senior centre-forward option from a side that has managed only three goals across five Serie A games, thinning De Rossi's attacking choices in a match he has called a must-win. The injury is described as less serious than first feared, so the absence may be short, but the club has not fixed a return date. For this fixture the role he vacates is likely to be filled by committee rather than one like-for-like replacement.
- Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Colombo will miss the Fiorentina match with a left-ankle sprain sustained in the 2 October friendly at Rapid Bucharest, with the injury less serious than first feared and the player reassessed in the coming weeks.
- Local medical reports after the friendly said the exam results were less severe than initially feared.
- L. Colombo started 3 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
