Fiorentina 0-0 Genoa result, stats and report

Genoa dominated large portions of this Serie A clash but could only manage a 1-1 draw against Frosinone, with Johan Vasquez's equaliser cancelling out Giorgi Kvernadze's opener despite Genoa finishing with ten men after a red card for Kingsley Ehizibue.

Franco Mastantuono scored a hat-trick as Fiorentina ran out 4-2 winners against a Venezia side that competed hard but could not contain the visitors' clinical edge. A match with six goals, two yellow cards per side, and a performance from Mastantuono that deserves to be talked about.

Frosinone produced a ruthless away performance to dismantle Fiorentina 3-0 at the Artemio Franchi, with Antonio Raimondo scoring twice as the home side were torn apart by a visiting team who had no business winning this convincingly on paper.

Como put four past Genoa in a dominant Serie A showing, with Assane Diao scoring twice and the visitors controlling proceedings from the moment Osmajic put them ahead inside 20 minutes.

Davide Frattesi's 25th-minute strike was enough for Lazio to grind out a 1-0 win over a Genoa side that competed hard but never really threatened to score. One goal. Three points. Job done.

Genoa have lost all five of their most recent Serie A matches and conceded ten goals in the process. Fiorentina arrive in Liguria in poor form of their own, setting up a fixture between two sides desperately short of confidence.

Both Parma and Genoa arrive at this fixture without a point on the board this season and carrying form that raises serious structural questions. Sunday's derby of necessity could define the early trajectory of two clubs desperate for a foothold in Serie A.
