Faltering Fiorentina will aim to return to winning ways when an improved Genoa outfit visit the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Monday.
Having failed to win any of their last four Serie A games, 10th-placed Fiorentina sit five points ahead of 12th-placed Genoa, who are unbeaten in three matches.

On Thursday, Fiorentina were held to a goalless draw by Viktoria Plzen in the first leg of their Europa Conference League quarter-final.
Despite racking up 73% possession and 10 shots, La Viola failed to find a way through against the Czech outfit, who managed a solitary attempt on target.
In Serie A, Fiorentina recorded back-to-back draws against Torino and Roma before suffering successive defeats to AC Milan and Juventus.
Having won just two of their previous 12 league encounters, Fiorentina will be desperate to stop the rot when Genoa visit the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
By contrast, the visitors have enjoyed plenty of success in recent times, avoiding defeat in each of their last three matches to remain within touching distance of Fiorentina.
Following draws against Juventus and Frosinone, the Rossoblu defeated Hellas Verona 2-1 last weekend, coming from behind to claim all three points.
It is also worth noting that Genoa have lost only one of their previous eight away league outings, picking up three wins and four draws along the way.
That said, Genoa have managed to keep just three clean sheets in 16 Serie A away games this season, underlining their defensive weaknesses.
Head-to-head: Genoa have only managed to win two of their last 26 Serie A matches against Fiorentina, with their last win coming back in 2019.
To make matters worse for the Rossoblu, they have failed to win any of their previous 15 Serie A games at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Team news: Fiorentina have reported no fresh injury problems ahead of Monday’s clash, meaning the hosts boast a full-strength squad.
On the flip side, Genoa will be without Alan Matturro and Ruslan Malinovskyi, while Mateo Retegui and Vitinha are doubts for the trip to Florence.
Although Fiorentina have struggled in recent weeks, they can take confidence from the fact that Genoa haven’t won at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in 15 attempts.
Forebet predicts that Fiorentina and Genoa will serve up a low-scoring draw, with both teams netting under 1.5 goals.
