Prediction: 1-1
SPAL
Genoa are meeting SPAL at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in this bottom half of the table encounter between sides in the 14th and 15th place, separated by a single point. Genoa lost to Torino in the last round while SPAL drew with Empoli. The Genoans lost four out the last five games while SPAL lost three out of the last five. SPAL have just one victory in the last ten matches, Genoa have two. Even though both teams have the same goal difference, Genoa are the second worst defensive team in Serie A, sharing that 2nd place with Frosinone with both behind Chievo. But they also scored six more goals than their opponents on Sunday. Genoa started the season well at home, with four straight wins but they are now four games without a win at home. SPAL have lost five out of the last six away matches. A win for either team will mean moving further away from the danger zone.

Highlighted Player (Oscar Hiljemark):
Oscar Hiljemark is a central midfielder who won the Under-21 European Championship with Sweden in 2015 and has also started to leave his mark on the senior national team. His talent was spotted early on as a number of Swedish sides battled for the player’s signature before he penned a professional contract with Elfsborg.
Following some impressive performances in Swedish Allsvenskan, Hiljemark was purchased by PSV Eindhoven, where he somewhat struggled for playing time, but that did not stop Serie A side Palermo from offering him an escape route from Dutch Eredivisie. The central midfielder enjoyed a brilliant start to his career in Italy, scoring several important goals in the opening exchanges, and he was in turn linked with the likes of Southampton, West Ham, AC Milan and Napoli, among other clubs.
While making several appearances for Blagult even before said success with the Under-21 side, Hiljemark only secured his place in the senior team after the aforementioned trophy, and he is tipped to prove a worthy successor to long-serving midfielder Kim Kallstrom.
Highlighted Team (SPAL):
SPAL impressed in the 2016/2017 Serie B campaign, with the team finishing the season in top position in the standings, four points clear of second-placed Hellas Verona.

The club was founded in 1907 as Circolo Ars et Labor and six years later was renamed as Societa Polisportiva Ars et Labor. After a bankruptcy the club was re-founded in 2005 and they have been competing as SPAl 1907 ever since.
SPAL welcome their rivals at Stadio Paolo Mazza, the venue which was opened in 1928. You should know that the capacity of the stadium is 12.438 Rovigo are regarded as Spal’s fiercest rivals and the two teams face each other in the Derby of Polesine.
