Genoa have been superior to Cagliari so far this season, but every fixture opens at 0-0. Here's all the intelligence you require ahead of kickoff:
- Genoa have not yet lost a game at home.
- Cagliari haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
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!
Genoa form and stats
Genoa must be fairly happy with 5 points from their first three Serie B games here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.
Genoa are confident in defense, having played 221 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
A strong away win for Genoa against SPAL the last match, as Guðmundsson and Coda were on target. Coda, who usually features in attack, was the champion player for the team in that match, receiving a rating of 8.31 (out of 10). Coda scored one goal, served one assist and hit two key passes.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Modena in a game that was won 1-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Genoa have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 4 and lost 1.
Genoa has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches.
Cagliari form and stats
Things could have gone better for Cagliari in their Serie B away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
Cagliari's previous game was their home loss versus Venezia (1-4). Midfielder Pereiro was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.25. Pereiro hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 22 successful passes (of 27 total).
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Bari 1908.Cagliari are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 5 matches.
Cagliari are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 2 times in 3 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
