Meanwhile, Verona's chances stand at a lower 16.0%, and a draw is predicted at 18.0%. Both teams find themselves in the relegation zone, with Genoa at 18th and Verona at the bottom in 20th position. The likelihood of the match featuring under 2.5 goals is predicted at 54.0%, suggesting a defensively tight encounter.

Match Analysis

Genoa has shown glimpses of resilience in their recent performances, managing to secure a victory against Sassuolo and drawing against both Cagliari and Fiorentina. Despite their position in the league, this recent form has seen them score five goals across three matches, indicating a potential upward trajectory in their attacking prowess. However, their defense remains a concern, having conceded six goals in the same period. On the other hand, Verona has struggled to find their footing, enduring a winless streak that extends over the past three games, with losses to Parma and Inter and a goalless draw against Lecce. Their offensive struggles are underscored by an average of just 0.2 goals per game in their last five outings. Defensively, they have not fared much better, conceding 1.8 goals on average.

Final Prediction

Genoa's edge in this matchup stems from their slightly better recent form and scoring ability, which is crucial against a Verona side that is struggling both offensively and defensively. A key factor to watch will be Genoa's ability to capitalize on Verona's vulnerabilities at the back, potentially securing a much-needed win to climb out of the relegation zone.
