Serie A: Genoa vs Fiorentina – Official line-ups and live updates | OneFootball

Raffaele Palladino has made a handful of changes to his free-scoring Fiorentina side for Thursday evening’s visit to Genoa in Serie A, as La Viola could climb into the Champions League positions with a win at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Fiorentina have scored 15 goals across their last three matches in all competitions, 11 in their last two Serie A matches after the thumping 5-1 and 6-0 victories over Roma and Lecce respectively.

There have been some alterations for the midweek clash against Genoa, though, as Moise Kean is given a rest up front. Riccardo Sottil and Christian Kouame return to the line-up instead.

Genoa’s changes have come in the attacking department. There are no alterations to the back four, despite a 3-0 loss against Lazio over the weekend, but there are returns to the starting line-up for Jeff Ekhator, Milan Badelj and Aaron Martin.

It is one game too soon for Mario Balotelli, who officially joined Genoa as a free agent on Monday evening. He has not been included in the matchday squad.

Kick-off is due at 17.30 GMT.

Genoa (4-4-1-1): Leali; Sabelli, Vogliacco, Vasquez, Matturro; Thorsby, Frendrup, Badelj, Martin; Ekhator, Pinamonti.

Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Dodò, Quarta, Ranieri, Gosens; Richardson, Bove; Colpani, Beltran, Sottil; Kouamé.
