Genoa are welcoming Sampdoria for another important game after their 2-2 result against 15th-placed Lecce.
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!
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
Genoa form and stats
With 2 Serie A wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Genoa, who have the most conceded goals (30) in Serie A, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Genoa are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Luigi Ferraris, having lost their two previous games here.
The home team returns to Luigi Ferraris after sharing the points with Lecce (placed 15th) on their last time out; the Serie A game ended 2-2. Before that, Genoa had a Coppa Italia home game versus Ascoli which ended with a victory 3-2.
A case of two points dropped for Genoa in the Lecce match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.
This is expected to be a close game, with Genoa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Genoa as a small favourite), we find eight games. Genoa has won 1 of these, drawn 4 and lost 3.
The Genoa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. On the other hand, Genoa have conceded 10 goals.
Sampdoria form and stats
There's been little loot from Sampdoria's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 7 away games in the Serie A. Sampdoria only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 0 draws.
Sampdoria failed to get anything from their last game, a Serie A home match vs Parma (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It was a Coppa Italia defeat before that one as the away game against Cagliari wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Sampdoria in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Sampdoria, 3 draws and 7 defeats.
After this away game Sampdoria return home for a Serie A game against Juventus. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Sampdoria are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). For Sampdoria, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
