Season ticket holders at Luigi Ferraris haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Genoa languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Sassuolo will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Genoa and Sassuolo.
Genoa form and stats
Genoa's struggle is real here at Luigi Ferraris with only 7 points collected from 8 Serie A games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5.
Genoa's last game was hosting Sassuolo (placed 12th) and winning 2-1. Heartbreak before that as Genoa lost 0-4 at Inter's place.
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 nine games. Genoa has won 1 of these, drawn 4 and lost 4.
The Genoa fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 8 matches. Genoa have conceded 11 in these home matches.
Sassuolo form and stats
Playing away, Sassuolo have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Serie A this season.
Sassuolo play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Genoa (placed 20th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-2 defeat against Napoli.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by Sassuolo in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Sassuolo, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
Sassuolo are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 8 games (in the league). Sassuolo have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
