The read. Fiorentina to win. A tight game. Fiorentina are the stronger side on form and the table, both teams' records favour Fiorentina and the meetings also favour Fiorentina. Their goals for and against point to a tight game and their records put over 2.5 goals at 45%.
The bets. Best bet: Under 3.5 Goals at 1.33, 74% on the records (Genoa: under 3.5 goals in 7 of 8; Fiorentina: under 3.5 goals in 6 of 8). Backup: Under 4.5 Goals at 1.12. It often rescues the bet, but it is no guarantee. Leave: Genoa Under 1.5 goals (Fiorentina's own games don't back it (4 of 8)); Genoa Over 0.5 goals (Genoa's own games don't back it (4 of 8)); Over 0.5 Goals (no overs on a tight read). Predicted score: Genoa 0-1 Fiorentina (9% chance).
Every score's chance from both teams' checked games, never cut or rescaled. The lit square is the likeliest score that fits the read (the call and a tight game).
