Genoa impressed many with a resilient 1-1 draw at San Siro against AC Milan, extending their unbeaten streak to three matches ahead of Cagliari's visit. As Genoa and Cagliari seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we predict a 2-2 draw. Danielle De Rossi's side have no fresh injury concerns, and the Rossoblù will fancy their chances at home despite a modest return of only 1 point per game at the Ferraris. The numbers paint an interesting picture: Genoa’s games are averaging 3.20 goals, but their defensive issues are striking—0 clean sheets across the board and 1.90 goals conceded per match. Encouragingly, they score with reasonable consistency, failing to net in just 20% of fixtures.
The Sardinians, meanwhile, arrive to Genoa after a 2-2 draw with Cremonese and also report no new injuries. Talented forward Sebastiano Esposito is expected to return to the starting XI, improving their attacking fluidity. Fabio Pisacane's troops show similar statistical trends: BTTS in 70% of matches and a goals-per-game average of 2.70 overall. They also struggle defensively, conceding in four of their last five. Historically, Genoa hold the advantage with 16 wins from 33 meetings and a strong 70% rate of over 1.5 goals in this fixture.
As both teams have BTTS above 70% recently, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals markets seem interesting.
This Serie A match will be played on Monday 12 January 2026 at 17:30.
