Genoa Form & Team News

Genoa sit 12th in Serie A. Their 22 goals scored in 24 matches is the third-fewest in the division.

A 1-0 home win over Parma made it just one loss in 12 league matches. A 3-1 loss followed at Roma before beating Monza 2-1 at home.

After losing 2-1 at Fiorentina, they drew 1-1 at Torino in their last match. Genoa put up a paltry 0.37 xG with just two shots on target.

Captain Milan Badelj went off injured against Torino and is doubtful for this match. On-loan winger Max Cornet was injured against Fiorentina and needs a late fitness test.

Coach Patrick Vieira is without teenage winger Honest Ahanor. Ruslan Malinovsky has been absent since September with a broken ankle.

Genoa Predicted Lineup

Leali; Sabelli, Vasquez, Matturro, Caricol; Frendrup, Masini; Messias, Thorsby; Miretti; Pinamonti.

Venezia Form & Team News

Venezia sit 19th in the Serie A table, five points off safety. Their last 14 matches have seen just one victory as they head for relegation in their current form.

A 1-0 home loss to Inter Milan preceded successive draws, 1-1 at Parma and 1-1 at home to Verona. A late goal leaked saw the Neroverdi lost 3-2 at Udinese.

Their last fixture saw a 1-0 home loss to Roma. From 63% possession, they only put up 0.71 xG and created just one big chance.

Coach Eusebio Di Francesco has four injuries to contend with. First-choice goalkeeper Filip Stankovic is out until March with a hamstring injury.

Left back Marin Sverko and right wingback Richie Sagrado are ruled out. Central midfielder Alfred Duncan has not played since November and is not yet ready to return.
