Prediction: 1-1
Verona
Stadio Luigi Ferraris will host Saturday’s football game between Genoa and Verona, the two teams who are level on points in the Serie A standings. The Rossoblu showed character in a 2-2 draw with Bologna, with Domenico Criscito scoring the equalizer from the penalty spot in the 89th minute. Genoa aim to return to winning ways, but the game against Verona will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Mastini, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Salernitana. Since Verona are determined to return to winning ways as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Caicedo should be the only absentee in the home team, while all Ruegg, Miguel Veloso, and Frabotta are out of contention for the visiting team. In their last meeting in the Italian top flight the two teams played out a 2-2 draw.
