📊 Form Guide
Genoa LDLWLL
Genoa will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-1 Serie A defeat last time out to SSC Napoli.
In that match, Genoa managed 31% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Genoa was Jeff Ekhator (34'). Napoli got 12 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Frank Anguissa (57') and Rasmus Højlund (75') scored for SSC Napoli.
It’s been all too rare in recent games that Genoa have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Genoa have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 10 goals during that time.
Their past results show that Genoa:
- have not been beaten in the league by Parma in their last 2 matches.
- are without a home win in the past 6 league matches. That's never good.
Parma DLDDWL
Since a losing effort in their last game against Lecce in Serie A competition, Parma will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Parma managed 63% possession and 10 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Lecce got 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Riccardo Sottil (38') scored for Lecce.
The numbers tell their own story, and Parma have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 7 goals in total. In defence, Parma have seen their frailties exposed. Let’s find out whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.
Their previous form shows that Parma:
- haven't beaten Genoa when they've played them away from home in the last 2 league games.
- are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: Genoa
The Genoa manager Patrick Vieira doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of ahead of this match thanks to a completely healthy squad available to select from.
It looks as if Il Grifone could employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Nicola Leali, Stefano Sabelli, Leo Oestigard, Johan Vasquez, Aaron Martin Caricol, Patrizio Masini, Morten Frendrup, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Ruslan Malinovsky, M. Egill Ellertsson and Lorenzo Colombo.
🗞️ Team News: Parma
Due to a fully injury-free group ready to go, the Parma boss Carlos Cuesta has no fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash.
There’s a good chance that I Crociati appear most likely to utilise a 3-5-2 lineup with a starting lineup of Zion Suzuki, Enrico Del Prato, Alessandro Circati, Abdoulaye N'Diaye, M. Fjoertoft Loevik, Adrian Bernabe, Mandela Keita, Oliver Soerensen, Pontus Almqvist, Patrick Cutrone and Mateo Pellegrino.
💡 Prediction
We’re inclined to think that Parma have the ability to find the back of the net against this Genoa side, but it may not be as many as they’ll concede.
Our selection here is for a 2-1 winning margin for Genoa at full-time. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
