Three or more goals per match were recorded in 5 of the last 6 meetings where Genoa have participated. Their opponents scored 14 of them in this period whereas Genoa bagged a total of 11. That kind of trend won’t necessarily follow through here, of course.

• are without a win at home for the past 3 matches in the league.
