Genoa form and stats

The visitors are W9-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie B. In general it has been a productive period now for Genoa as they haven't lost any of their last eleven games.

182 minutes! That's how long the Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez Riera and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

It's the second away game in a row for Genoa, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Cittadella (placed 16th) last time out. Bani, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.04. Bani won 10 of 10 duels.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Genoa have scored 22 goals in 17 league games away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (15 so far).
