This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie A, Genoa holding 19th place and Brescia lying 15th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Genoa form and stats

The story so far in the Serie A for Genoa, who have the most conceded goals (20) in Serie A, at their home stadium (Luigi Ferraris) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Genoa has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Andreazzoli and the players.

The fans are hoping that Genoa will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-5 away loss in the Serie A game against Parma (placed 8th). Before that game, the home loss against Milan with the scoreline 1-2.

Genoa were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Genoa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won 3 times, drawn 3 and lost 0.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Genoa as they are travelling to their away game against Juventus in the Serie A. That match is four days after this one.

Genoa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 4 attempts. 5 goals have been conceded.

Brescia form and stats

The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A.

There were no winners in Brescia's previous match, a Serie A home game that ended 0-0 vs Fiorentina (placed 9th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Napoli's place.

Brescia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of ten matches.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Inter in just three days.

The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Brescia as they have only conceded 3 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last four meetings: 3 - 1 - 0 (Genoa wins - draws - Brescia wins). As for goals, 2 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 2 had two or less.
