Genoa Aims to End Sassuolo's Serie A Run
12 Apr
Summary
- Genoa seeks to return to goal-scoring form after recent blanks.
- Sassuolo has not kept a clean sheet in their last nine away Serie A games.
- Genoa has a strong recent home record against Sassuolo.
Genoa will host Sassuolo at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in a Serie A fixture on Sunday. The home side, Genoa, is currently in 14th place, having secured eight wins so far this season. They are looking to improve their goal-scoring form after failing to find the net in their last two matches. Despite this, Genoa has a solid recent home record, having scored at least two goals in five of their last six home games.
Sassuolo, positioned 10th in the standings with 42 points from 31 games, is looking to build on their recent win against Cagliari. However, they have a defensive vulnerability away from home, having not kept a clean sheet in their last nine Serie A away fixtures. They have conceded one goal in five of those matches. The visitors also have a winless streak of five meetings against Genoa.
Both teams are facing injury concerns. Genoa will be without Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Jean Onana, and Maxwel Cornet, while Sassuolo has Edoardo Pieragnolo, Daniel Boloca, and Fali Candé sidelined. Despite recent struggles and head-to-head statistics favoring Genoa, the match is anticipated to be closely contested, with Genoa predicted to secure a narrow victory.
