Fiorentina last Thursday experienced a truly dramatic evening in Hungary in the return leg of the Conference League playoff against Puskas Akademia, which came very close to eliminating the Viola from the competition. Raffaele Palladino’s team, pegged back in the last minute by the Magyars (1-1, the first leg had ended 3-3) in extra time was even down to nine but still managed to make it to penalties, where they came out on top thanks to a stunning De Gea.
This was the fourth consecutive draw for the liliati, who as captain Biraghi reported in an interview have not yet internalized the ideas of the new coach. It is not surprising, then, that Fiorentina is disappointing, perhaps also due to a market that has contributed to twisting the roster (hard to say whether for the better or for the worse). In the league, the Viola are stuck with 2 points, the result of draws with newly promoted Parma (1-1) and Venezia (0-0). Palladino is hunting for his first success with his former team, Monza: the Brianzoli are not shining either, and Nesta’s management began with a draw and a defeat in their direct clashes with Empoli (0-0) and Genoa (0-1), without scoring a single goal. There are not a few doubts for Palladino about the 11 to send on the field, but there is no shortage of ballots in the Monza house either. Sure of the place only the two strikers: Kean on one side and Djuric on the other.
The prediction
Two teams that have not yet found a game identity and are struggling in all aspects, especially in ball possession. It would not be a surprise if we witnessed an unspectacular match, from less than three goals overall.
The probable lineups of Fiorentina-Monza
FIORENTINA (3-4-2-1): Terracciano; Pongracic, Martinez Quarta, Ranieri; Dodò, Mandragora, Richardson, Biraghi; Colpani, Kouamé; Kean.
MONZA (3-4-2-1): Turati; Izzo, Pablo Marì, Caldirola; Birindelli, Pessina, Bondo, Kyriakopoulos; Maldini, Mota; Djuric.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1

Genoa did not go down after a market that deprived it of two major players from last season like Retegui and Gudmundsson and picked up pretty much where it left off. A draw with Inter (2-2) and a win with Monza (0-1) so far for Alberto Gilardino’s Rossoblù, a coach who, as he did last year, is proving to have a thousand resources.
The new striker, meanwhile, was immediately decisive: the success obtained in Brianza (0-1) bears the very signature of Pinamonti, who arrived in Genoa from Sassuolo to take the place of the Italo-Argentinian center forward, who ended up at Atalanta. The Grifone this weekend has another chance to make its ranking even better, hosting Verona at Marassi. It is difficult to assess the Scaligeri after the first two days: the resounding 3-0 in the opener with Napoli was followed by another 3-0, but this time on the back foot, against Juventus. Paolo Zanetti’s team therefore travels to Liguria to get more answers about its state of health against a potential direct competitor for salvation. Gilardino will confirm the Vitinha-Pinamonti pair in attack, while in Verona Livramento, Suslov and Lazovic will support the only forward Tengstedt.
The prediction
Last season Genoa got the better of Verona both in the first leg and in the return, and from what we have seen in these first two games, it is a trend that could continue. Trust in Gilardino’s team, which always has an edge at Marassi.
The probable lineups of Genoa-Verona
GENOA (3-5-2): Gollini; De Winter, Vogliacco, Vasquez; Sabelli, Messias, Badelj, Frendrup, Martin; Vitinha, Pinamonti.
VERONA (4-2-3-1): Montipò; Tchatchoua, Dawidowicz, Coppola, Magnani; Duda, Belahyane; Livramento, Suslov, Lazovic; Tengstedt.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 2-1
