Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Genoa & Catanzaro face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coppa Italia. All the pre-match information is available here!
The hosts Genoa saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Serie A. Thankfully the previous game, versus Inter, was also a home game here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. The away team is better rested.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1000 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Genoa form and stats
Genoa was eliminated in the 8th finals last season in the Coppa Italia.Only two Serie A home games for Genoa so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.
Stress levels are on the rise for Genoa's attacking players as they have now played 285 minutes without scoring in a league game. M. Pjaca was their last goal scorer.
The Genoa fans got no joy from their last match, a Serie A game also here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris: A 0-2 defeat against Inter. A 0-0 draw away in the Serie A before that, with Hellas Verona the opponent.
The manager R. Maran will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Sampdoria in only four days.
Early season league goal statistics from Genoa's 2 home games: 4 goals, 3 conceded.
Catanzaro form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Virtus Francavilla and Chievo in order to reach 3rd Round of Coppa Italia. Last season their Coppa Italia adventure ended in the 2nd round.Still no away game victory in the Serie C: Girone C for Catanzaro with 2 draws and 1 loss from their first 3 attempts. Two points from the last two away games for Catanzaro, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Casertana in their previous outing. The Serie C: Girone C match ended in a draw 0-0. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Foggia in the Serie C: Girone C.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Catanzaro manager G. Auteri as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Ternana.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Catanzaro's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. It's not easy to score on Catanzaro as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
