Verona vs. Genoa: Match Prediction
This will be a clash between two teams not known for high scoring. Verona, even at home, rarely excites fans with attacking play and numerous attacks: in their last nine home league matches, they have not surpassed the one-goal mark. Moreover, in six instances during this period, Verona's players failed to score at all.
Genoa also cannot boast of quality attacking play, especially in away games. In their last seven away Serie A matches, Genoa has not managed to score more than once. Additionally, throughout the current championship, Genoa has only twice managed to score at least two goals away. At the same time, the club is defensively reliable, conceding a maximum of one goal in 9 of their last 11 away Serie A encounters.
Considering all factors, I expect a low-scoring match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
