Their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of their last 10 league matches. However, they tend to have low-scoring games, with less than 3 goals in 9 of their last 14 home matches.

In home fixtures, they have scored 8 of their 15 goals late in the match (76’–90′).
Genoa enters this fixture after a recent draw against Cagliari, with Maxwel Cornet finding the net for the only goal. Tactical plans by coach Patrick Vieira typically involve a 4-3-3 formation, with attacking responsibilities divided among Jeff Ekhator, Andrea Pinamonti, and Ruslan Malinoxkyi. Fábio Miretti serves as the central playmaker, orchestrating the teams’ offensive plays. However, the squad will miss several players due to injuries, including Mario Balotelli, Morten Thorsby, Junior Messiah, Honest Ahanor, Caleb Ekuban, Mattia Bani, and Maxwel Cornet.
