Genoa must be careful not to lose more points

A run of four matches without a win has seen Genoa retreat to 14th position on the Serie A table preceding their opponents Spezia by goal difference. Coming to this match, Genoa drew their last match after being down in the first half. Genoa have conceded before the 30-minute mark in the last six matches, winning just one of them, drawing two, and losing three.

In their last five matches, coach Davide Ballardini’s team grabbed just five points. Both teams have scored in all five of those games. Ballardini must be confident playing at home as his side are unbeaten in matches. Genoa have scored in 13 home matches so far this season. It is a big possibility that we will see a few goals here as Genao’s last five matches have seen two goals or more.

Spezia in need of three points

Coach Vincenzo Italiano will hope his team’s draw against Serie A leaders Inter Milan will boost their confidence and travel to Genoa with the aim of avenging their loss at home to Genoa back in December. With just two wins and three draws in their last ten matches, Spezia have found themselves close to the relegation zone and must win this game to climb to safety and stay away from the 18th placed Cagliari who are just five points behind with six games remaining.
