Prediction: 2-1
Salernitana
Genoa play host to Salernitana at their Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the Copa Italia last 32. The Rossoblu aim to make amends for a heart-breaking 3-1 loss in the Derby della Lanterna, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Salernitana. All Caicedo, Fares, Maksimovic, and Rovella should miss out with injuries, while Destro, Kallon, and Portanova are all pushing for a start.
I Granata, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive in the 2021/2022 Serie A season, with the team sitting in the rock bottom with only 8 points in their pocket. Since Salernitana experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Fiorentina, we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Genoa’s party at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. The likes of Capezzi, Coulibaly, Gondo, Ruggeri, Russo, Strandberg, and Zortea have been struggling with injuries of late.
