Genoa

LWLWLL

Genoa won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 0-1 Serie A losing effort in their last game against Bologna.

In that game, Genoa managed 51% possession and 18 attempts on goal with 5 on target. On the other side, Bologna got 11 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Musa Barrow (66') was the scorer for Bologna.

Genoa have really been misfiring in recent times. Their ‘goals for’ figure equals just 3 versus opposing sides during their previous 6 fixtures. In those meetings, Genoa have also seen the tally of goals against them come to 8. Historical results aside, we’ll just have to find out if such a trend will be replicated here in this game or not.

Benevento

LLLWWL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Pisa in Serie B - Play-offs competition, Benevento and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Benevento managed 49% possession and 7 shots at goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Pisa got 12 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. Ahmad Benali (11') scored for Pisa.

It is worth noting that Benevento have had real problems scoring goals over their last 6 games, contributing the disappointing return of just 4. In those fixtures, Benevento have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 8.

📰 Team News: Genoa

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the sole fitness concern for the Genoa manager Alexander Blessin to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group. Stefano Sturaro (Surgery) is out of contention.

ℹ️ Team News: Benevento

Owing to a completely healthy group available to select from, the Benevento manager Fabio Caserta has no fitness concerns to report ahead of this clash.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Benevento have it in them to get a goal against this Genoa outfit, but it is unlikely to be as many as they’ll concede.

We think that it’s going to be a narrow 2-1 winning score for Genoa at full-time. It really should be an interesting one.
