Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Thursday’s football game between Genoa and Como will open Serie A round 12. The Rossoblu aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Parma and a triumph over Como will see them escape the danger zone. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but the likes of Ekuban, Malinovsky, Messias, and Vitinha remain in the recovery room. Both Ankeye and Norton-Cuffy are major doubts.
The newcomers, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As I Biancoblu are low on spirits ahead of the trip to Genoa, we are tempted to bet on the home side, who were given a confidence boost at the weekend. The likes of Barba, Cerri, Perrone, Van der Brempt, and Sergi Roberto are rated doubtful for the visiting team. In their last meeting at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
