Genoa form and stats

Genoa's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Genoa collect 22 points from their 11 away matches in the Serie B. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 3 defeats). Genoa has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Genoa's last game was the home draw against Pisa (0-0). Midfield player Strootman was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Strootman hit four key passes and had 78 successful passes (of 89 total).

Preceding that game was the away victory against Benevento with the score of 2-1.

Lacking goals? 8 of this team's most recent 10 league matches have seen two goals or less.

Genoa have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 14 goals have been scored. It's not easy to score on Genoa as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - one - three (Parma wins - draws - Genoa wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
