Genoa promoted from the Serie B made a sour debut in the Serie A Week 1 losing the game against Fiorentina on Saturday 19 August 2023 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.  Serie A debut for Coach Alberto Gilardino who replaced Blessin.   A nightmare for the Marassi public who embrace Serie A again after only one season of purgatory in the cadetteria. Fiorentina, on the other hand, starting the championship on the right foot.

Surely, it is a good first for Fiorentina. Very high quality first half from the Italian team who after eleven minutes are already two goals ahead thanks to Biraghi’s prowess and Bonaventura’s winning tap. Nico Gonzalez headed the 3-0, in the second half a wonderful assist from Bonaventura gave Mandragora the poker ball. Genoa tries to get back into the game with the goal scored by Biraschi, but the result will not change until the triple whistle
A more aggressive recovery by Genoa wasn’t enough to overturn the deficit in the first half, a bitter return to Serie A for Gilardino’s eleven

Fiorentina have not won on their Serie A debut in 1997 when they played it away; in the last seven occasions they have played their first away away game in the competition they have picked up just two points.

Stats before the game: Genoa have won only 18% of their Serie A matches played against Fiorentina (W18, D38, L46); among the teams faced at least eight times in the top flight, Viola is the one against which the Ligurians have the lowest percentage of successes.
Genoa lost their last Serie A home game against Fiorentina and have not suffered two home defeats in a row against the Viola since the period between November 2012 and September 2013. In the last seven seasonal debuts in Serie A, Genoa have never repeated the same result twice in a row (W3, D2, L2); defeat against Inter in the most recent match for the Ligurians, on 21 August 2021. Genoa haven’t drawn in their first home match in Serie A since September 2011 (2-2 against Atalanta); since then for the Ligurians four wins and one defeat in five home season debuts. Fiorentina haven’t drawn in their Serie A season debut since 2010 (1-1 vs Napoli); since then the Viola have won seven and suffered five defeats in the following 12 championships.
