It's no vacation for neither Genoa nor Inter as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Genoa form and stats

6 victories, 1 draw and 10 defeats. That’s what Genoa have to build on here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the Serie A. Genoa has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

It's back home for Genoa, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sampdoria away with the result 2-1. Domenico Criscito and Lukas Lerager found the net in that victory. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Lecce in a game that was won 2-1.

There will be little rest for Genoa after this match as they are travelling to Sassuolo for a Serie A game in only four days.
