- Sampdoria have the most conceded goals in the first half (20) in Serie A
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.
Genoa form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie A this season. Genoa have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 13 attempts.
F. Bianchi was the last player to score a league goal for Genoa and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Genoa haven't scored in 361 minutes.
In their previous game, the manager A. Shevchenko led his Genoa to a defeat in the Serie A match away at Juventus. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Salvatore Sirigu had a busy but productive day in the Juventus match. Despite making ten saves the loss could not be prevented. The goalie Salvatore Sirigu was named most valuable player of the team in that game, scoring 8.35 out of ten. Sirigu stopped the opponent with ten saves.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Milan (0-3).Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Salernitana are coming to town in four days.
Genoa has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Genoa with 14 goals conceded in these matches.
Sampdoria form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sampdoria so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
The manager R. D'Aversa was unhappy after their last game, a Serie A match played at their home ground Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Sampdoria suffered a 1-3 loss to Lazio (placed 8th). Midfielder Adrien Silva was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.43. Silva hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 38 successful passes (of 40 total).
A 1-3 defeat away at Fiorentina before that.Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sampdoria have scored 9 goals in 7 league games away. Sampdoria's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 12 goals from these trips.
