Genoa CFC Results History
Genoa CFC's recent away form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with the team struggling to find their footing on the road. Their latest outing saw them succumb to a 3-0 defeat against Lazio, a match where their defensive frailties were laid bare. This followed a heavy 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Atalanta, highlighting a worrying trend of conceding goals in clusters. The attack has also been misfiring, with the team managing just a single goal in their last three away fixtures. It's clear that Genoa's away day blues are a combination of defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge up front. On the flip side, their home performances have shown glimpses of resilience, as evidenced by the spirited 2-2 draw against Bologna. However, the 3-0 home defeat to Juventus and a frustrating 1-1 draw in the Coppa Italia against local rivals Sampdoria suggest that consistency is still eluding them. Genoa's challenge lies in tightening up at the back and finding a more clinical edge in attack if they are to turn their fortunes around, both at home and away. The team needs to rediscover their grit and determination to climb up the Serie A table.
ACF Fiorentina Historical Performance
ACF Fiorentina have been on a remarkable run in their recent away fixtures, showcasing a blend of attacking flair and defensive solidity. Their trip to Lecce was a masterclass in offensive prowess, as they dismantled the hosts with a resounding 6-0 victory. This was followed by a thrilling 4-2 triumph over FC St. Gallen 1879 in the Europa Conference League, highlighting their ability to find the back of the net with ease. However, their goalless draw against Empoli FC suggests that while they can be prolific, there are moments when their attacking engine stalls. Defensively, they've shown resilience, keeping a clean sheet against Empoli and conceding just two goals in their last three away matches. Despite the occasional hiccup, Fiorentina's away form has been largely impressive, underpinned by a robust defence and a potent attack. Their ability to score freely, as evidenced by their recent goal-fests, makes them a formidable opponent on the road. Yet, the challenge remains to maintain consistency, particularly against tougher opposition, as seen in their narrow defeat to AC Milan at home. If they can iron out these inconsistencies, Fiorentina could well be a force to be reckoned with in both domestic and European competitions.
