Genoa form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris as Genoa have scored 20 goals to get 30 points from 15 games. The overall stats in the Serie B are 8-6-1 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat Pisa here at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Genoa has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Genoa, as their goalkeeper Josep Martinez Riera has completely shut out the opponents for 485 minutes in the Serie B.
Happy days for Genoa in their previous game, a fixture away at Brescia (placed 20th) that ended with a 3-0 victory. The striker Guðmundsson was announced as "man of the match" for Genoa with the rating of 8.75/10. Guðmundsson scored two goals, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times and had 22 successful passes (of 26 total).
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Ternana in a game that was won 1-0.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Genoa's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 5 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 1.
It should be added that a peek at the 17 latest league fixtures reveals that 14 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).
Genoa are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. Genoa have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only {6 goals}. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Reggina form and stats
Playing away, Reggina have won 6 games, drawn 1 and suffered 7 defeats in the Serie B this season. Bitter travels for Reggina as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Ascoli match.
Gori was the last player to score for the away team. Reggina haven't scored a league goal in the last 226 minutes.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Cagliari with 0-4 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Cagliari was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind. Chiara, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.35. Chiara hit two key passes and won 4 of 4 duels.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Parma.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Reggina playing away, we found 4 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 2 home wins.
Reggina have scored 16 goals on their travels this season, from 14 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Reggina have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
