Brescia form and stats

With 1 Serie A win, 3 draws and 9 defeats from their home games, Brescia are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Brescia who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Lecce, 98 days ago.

Brescia's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 1-2 versus Napoli (placed 6th). Heartbreak before that as Brescia lost 0-2 at Juventus's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Brescia have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost zero.

The Brescia fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 13 matches. Brescia have conceded 25 from these games.

Genoa form and stats

There's been little loot from Genoa's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 13 away games in the Serie A. Genoa only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 6 draws.

Home advantage was not enough for Genoa in their previous game, as they lost their Serie A-match, hosting Lazio, 2-3. Prior to that result Genoa won their away game at Bologna. The scoreline was 3-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Genoa playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were one Genoa win, five draws and four defeats.

Genoa are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 15 away goals from 13 games (in the league). The Genoa manager D. Nicola has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Brescia and Genoa have met before this season: Genoa - Brescia 3-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Brescia won zero games, one match ended with a draw and Genoa has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / two
