Command Analysis

Genoa

Current form
Genoa approached the start of the season as a contender for a place in the middle of the tournament table - last season the Griffins showed themselves quite decently, and despite a number of summer sales, had a quite combat-ready squad to solve such problems. However, even before the start of the championship, the Genoese were hit by an epidemic of injuries, which only worsened with the start of the season.
For this reason, it was difficult to count on a successful start, Genoa played several bright matches, but lost points regularly and the management even took emergency measures, signing free agents during the season - Mario Balotelli ultimately did not take root in the team. Without waiting for the bottom of the crisis, the management changed the coach and invited Patrick Vieira, under whose leadership the situation stabilized.
Genoa currently sits 12th in the table with 23 points and is four points clear of the relegation zone – a handicap that cannot guarantee anything at the moment. In the last round, the Griffins predictably lost 1-3 away to Roma, thus suffering their eighth defeat of the season and ending a streak of three consecutive games with points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Malinovsky, Ahanor, Vitinha, Badel and Bani are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Genoa have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches.
- Genoa have scored in four of their last five matches
- Genoa have conceded just one goal in their last three matches
Tentative lineup: Leali - Sabelli, De Winter, Vazquez, Martin - Thorsby, Masini, Frendrup - Zanoli, Pinamonti, Miretti.

Monza

Current form
Monza, like its current rival, had a decent last season and was considered a contender for a place in the middle of the table before the start of the current season; Alessandro Nesta team was not on the list of candidates for relegation. However, from the very start, the Biancorossi made a lot of mistakes and gradually reached the relegation zone, from which it will be very difficult to get out.
Despite the lack of results and quality football, the management did not dare to change the coach and frankly delayed the decision - Salvatore Bocchetti came to the team at the peak of the crisis and it was extremely naive to expect magic from him, especially since he does not have serious experience at this level. However, the sale of the main forward in the person of Milan Djuric in January leaves more questions for the management than for the new coach, for whom everything is going exactly the same as for the previous one.
After the long-awaited victory over Fiorentina (2:1) in the 20th round, Monza probably expected to build on their success in the match against Bologna in the last round, but they failed to do so. The 1:3 defeat was the 12th of the season for the Biancorossi and did not allow them to leave the last line in the table – they are already seven points behind the saving 17th line.
Disqualifications and injuries
Pessina, Cragno, Gagliardini, Birindelli, Pablo Mari, Bondo, Mota and Caldirola are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monza have lost seven of their last eight matches
- Monza have scored in their last seven matches
- Monza have scored against Genoa in three of their last four matches
Probable line-up: Turati - Izzo, D'Ambrosio, Carboni - Pereira, Bianco, Akpa-Akpro, Kyriakopoulos - Churria, Caprari - Maldini.

Genoa broke its successful streak in the last round, losing to Roma, and found itself four points away from the relegation zone. It is obvious that in the confrontation with the last team of the championship, the griffins will strive only for victory and will probably play as aggressively as possible in front, knowing about the vulnerability of the opponent in defense - Monza has conceded in 14 matches in a row. At the same time, the guests have nowhere to retreat, the Biancorossi will probably also take risks and strive to cling to points, a defeat can turn an already difficult situation into a critical one, an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Prediction - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.99
Bet on the outcome
Monza is in a protracted and deep crisis, which even the new coach is unable to stop completely. The situation is aggravated by a huge number of injuries to key players, and there is simply no quality reserve at hand, but in this situation, oddly enough, there was room for sales in January. Against the background of the opponent, Genoa problems do not look serious, the griffins are generally in good shape, having lost in the last four matches only to Roma away, against such an opponent the Genoese are quite capable of counting on all three points.
Bet - Genoa win. This bet is offered for 2.27
Combined rate
Genoa is undoubtedly the favorite of the match - the griffins are stable against the opponent, they show quality football, they have an advantage in the selection of players, especially if you consider the large number of injuries among the guests. The Genoese are quite capable of taking their three points and will certainly beat the crisis Monza at home. At the same time, the Biancorossi will undoubtedly take risks, they have nowhere to retreat, Genoa is unlikely to be able to beat such an opponent without scoring.
Bet - Genoa win and both teams to score. This bet is offered at 4.85
