Genoa
Patrick Vieira's side drew 0-0 away to Lecce in the last round. As a result, Genoa has managed to collect points in 8 of their last 9 league matches (3 wins, 5 draws). This was their third goalless draw in five previous Serie A games. Genoa sits 13th in the standings with 20 points, just three points clear of the relegation zone. Notably, the club has scored only 16 goals in the current championship – only Lecce has fewer.
Defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy, midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi, and forwards Junior Messias and Vitinha will miss the match due to injuries.
- The team has not won in their last ten home matches in Serie A (6 draws, 4 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 11 of the last 13 home league matches.
- Genoa has conceded exactly one or two goals in 8 of their last 10 home Serie A matches.
Parma
Fabio Pecchia's side drew 0-0 away to Torino in the last round. As a result, Parma has avoided defeat in their second consecutive league match – prior to that, they defeated Monza (2-1). Additionally, the team kept a clean sheet for the first time in 12 Serie A matches. The club is just behind Genoa in the standings, trailing by one point.
Midfielders Adrian Bernabe and forward Gabriel Charpentier will miss the game due to injuries. Notably, the club acquired defender Mathias Lovik in the current transfer window.
- The team has not won in 22 of their last 23 away matches in Serie A (10 draws, 12 losses).
- Both teams scored in 6 of Parma's last 9 away league matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 4 of Parma's last 5 away Serie A matches.
Genoa vs. Parma: Match Prediction
Genoa has struggled this Serie A season, particularly in defense. Even with home support, Genoa regularly concedes: in ten home matches this season, they have kept a clean sheet just once, allowing opponents to score at least twice in six games.
Parma is active in attack and often succeeds offensively. Even in away matches, Fabio Pecchia's side feels confident in this aspect of the game: in nine away encounters this Serie A season, the team has failed to score only three times.
I expect at least one goal from the visitors, so my prediction: Parma Individual Total Over 0.5
