Stats

Genoa have won 9 of their last 10 home matches (Coppa Italia).
Genoa have failed to win in their last 10 home matches against Sampdoria.
Sampdoria have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches (Serie B).

Head to Head

Sampdoria have a 42-26 advantage against Genoa with 39 draws in 107 matches.

They last met in the 2021/22 Serie A season, Sampdoria winning 3-1 on the road and 1-0 at home.

Genoa Form

Genoa had a strong start to the season, beating Reggiana 1-0 in the Coppa Italia and Junior Messias scoring late to earn a 2-2 draw against Inter Milan. They backed up with a 1-0 win in Monza.

Alberto Gilardino’s side haven’t won in three games since, starting with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Verona. Koni De Winter scored a dramatic 95th minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Roma.

Genoa are coming off a 2-0 loss at Venezia where they created 0.39 expected goals.

Genoa Injuries & Team News

Right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy has a foot injury and attacking midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi has a broken fibula.

Winger Junior Messias is doubtful.

Expect Andrea Pinamonti to come back into the starting side with David Ankeye and Caleb Ekuban both out.

Sampdoria Form

Sampdoria got past Como in the Coppa Italia, winning the penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. They failed to win in their opening five games in Serie B, two draws and three defeats.

Andrea Pirlo was sacked after a 3-2 defeat at Salernitana, ironic as the club hired Andrea Sottil, the manager who resigned just 10 days after taking the Salernitana job.

Sottil’s spell in charge started with a 0-0 draw against Bari and 2-1 defeat at Cosenza. Sampdoria beat Sudtirol 1-0 on Saturday, Lorenzo Venuti scoring his second goal of the season.

Sampdoria Injuries & Team News

Defensive midfielder Matteo Ricci has a calf injury.

Winger Estanis Pedrola is out with a hamstring injury.

Verdict

Genoa v Sampdoria

Genoa haven’t won in 10 straight home games against Sampdoria. They have a great chance to stop that run in the derby, my money on a home win in the Coppa Italia.
