Genoa vs Fiorentina: Lineups and How to Watch
In the matchup featuring debuting managers, fans are likely the ones who lose out. Daniele de Rossi chooses Alessandro Marcandelli for defense and Morten Thørsby for midfield, while suspended Ruslan Malinovskyi is absent. Paolo Vanoli faces a tougher challenge as both Moise Kean and Robin Gosens are injured.
Vanoli keeps the defense and midfield from the brief Daniele Galloppa era, which lasted only until midweek, but selects Roberto Piccoli and Albert Guðmundsson for the attack. Guðmundsson recently returned from Reykjavik after attending another hearing related to his sexual assault case and makes his first appearance at Genoa since signing for Fiorentina.
