Genoa form and stats

Things could have gone better for Genoa in their Serie A away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.

Genoa's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Hellas Verona that finished 3-3. Genoa's last match (vs Hellas Verona) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 85th minute equalizer by Mattia Destro. As you can tell from the result, the match against Hellas Verona was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Mattia Destro got a match rating of 8.65 in that game. Destro scored two goals and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Bologna that ended 2-2.

Genoa are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Genoa concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
