Genoa
- Genoa’s home record in Serie A has been abysmal this season with just one win, four draws and five defeats from ten matches played at the Luigi Ferraris stadium.
- Daniele De Rossi has attempted to make them tough to beat since taking charge in November 2025.
- A more defensive, pragmatic style has seen his side keep it tight and play at a slower tempo, but that isn’t always a good recipe for home success.
- Their problem is a lack of penetration in the final third, especially at home where they have only scored six goals in ten matches.
- Leo Oestigard leads the scorerboard with three Serie A goals in 13 appearances, but they have had to rely on him for a spark there.
- Genoa sit in 17th in the Serie A standings with 15 points from 18 matches, still not clear of the relegation zone and three points behind Cagliari.
Cagliari
- Cagliari have won two, drawn three and lost four of their nine Serie A away matches since the start of the season.
- Fabio Pisacane has done an impressive job at Cagliari since taking over in June 2025.
- His team have been more fluid and flexible in their approach than many expected, with a willingness to press high up the pitch and play at speed in transition.
- Gennaro Borrelli leads their scoring charts with three goals in 17 Serie A games, but Semih Kilicsoy has also found a run of form with two of their last five goals.
- They have conceded an average of 1.33 goals per match on their travels this season, 12 in total, but can cause Genoa problems on the counter.
- Cagliari have a slight edge on Genoa in 14th with 18 points and will be looking to keep it that way.
