Genoa form and stats

Genoa have only collected 10 points from their away games in the Serie A, after 1-7-6 (14 played). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Genoa, who have now gone 25 games without a victory. The Cagliari game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Genoa aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 241 league minutes without a goal. Ekuban was the last player to find the net. 257 minutes! That's how long the Genoa goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

A draw for Genoa before that, at their own venue hosting Inter (0-0).
