Prediction: 2-1
Sudtirol
Genoa will look to make amends for a shocking 1-0 loss to Cittadella when they take on Sudtirol in the Serie B round 16. The Rossoblu do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league matches, but the midweek game could be the turning point for the promotion-chasing hosts. Both Coda and Yalcin are pushing for a start as Alexander Blessin should opt to make changes to the team that faced La Citta at the weekend.
Pierpaolo Bisoli’s troops, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last five league fixtures. Since Sudtirol have been struggling at the back of late, conceding seven goals in total in the last four league matches, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. This will be the first meeting between the two sides in the Italian second tier. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side.
Highlighted Player (Kevin Strootman):
After starting his senior career at Sparta Rotterdam, Kevin Strootman joined fellow Dutch side Utrecht in 2011. The defensive midfielder, who was born on February 13, 1990 in Ridderkerk, Netherlands, then moved to PSV where he established himself as a first-team regular. Strootman was then spotted by AS Roma scouts and in 2013 he decided to take a step forward in his career by joining the Giallorossi.
On March 9, 2014, the Dutch footballer sustained a serious knee injury that made him miss the remainder of the 2013/2014 Serie A season. He missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup as well, but he returned to contention on November 9, 2014. Kevin Strootman played for Roma until August 28 when he signed a five-year contract with Olympique Marseille.
Speaking of his international career, Strootman made his Netherlands debut against Austria in 2011 and he scored his first ever goal for the Dutch national team in Euro 2012 qualifier against Finland. Kevin Strootman’s preferred foot is right.
