Genoa hosts Cagliari in round 37 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, May 18th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Genoa cannot boast of stable results in this season, and therefore the relegation to Serie B is still threatening it. The bosses of the club cannot pin down the head coach, who will undertake to rebuild the entire game system. In Genoa, coaches are not given much time – in this season, a rotation of the coaching staff has already taken place twice. If you believe the media, David Bellardini will be fired from the club, and Cesare Prandelli, who has previously worked with Genoa, claims to be in his place. Of course, it is hard for the players to work in such conditions, so the team demonstrates the appropriate results. Genoa played its last match in Bergamo, where it lost to Atalanta (1:2), which is in overdrive to the Champions League. The team from Genoa, although it shot more often on goal, still lost rightfully. This was the eighth match in a row for Genoa without a win. The last time the Griffons won in mid-March - it was a sensational home victory over Juventus (2:0). We should specially note the fact that several key players of the team are injured now. The men of Roberto Maran also do not win lately - they lost three last matches. However, here you need to take into account the names of rivals - Roma (1:2), Napoli (1:2), Lazio (0:3). Of course, we can say that these losses will not affect the situation in any way, because Cagliari will keep its positions in the standings, and it no longer accomplishes any tasks.

At the same time, the Red and Blues are certainly sorry about the duel in Naples, which was unfairly lost with a minimum score. And it's not just about the quality of the game. The thing is that a penalty to the side of Cagliari was awarded after watching the video review. The players of Cagliari had clamored for a long time at that moment, and Ionita, who received a red card, even overdid. Pavoletti is the one who gladdens in this season. He has already scored 13 goals in Serie A, for which he received an invitation to the national team from Roberto Mancini. In general, the squad of Cagliari matured and became solid, so it's nice to watch the team’s gameWe should specially note that the Islanders are the home team, and most of their points are earned in front of their fans. The face-to-face duel of the first leg, which was played a few days before the onset of 2019, ended with a home victory of Cagliari - 1:0. The only goal in the match was scored by Farias, who used the assist of Darijo Srna in the third minute of time added to the first half. Over the past 10 years, the teams held 17 meetings against each other, in which they have 8 wins both, and the winner has not been determined only in one match.
If Genoa has a crazy motivation for the game, then Cagliari definitely won’t have such one. Of course, the Islanders scarcely want to lose the fourth match in a row, but it will be difficult for them to scratch out the victory in Genoa. We must begin by saying that Cagliari is the home team, which shows its best football in front of its own audience, for which it strives to play. As for the Griffins, they will surely manage to muster up their strength and show one of the best matches of the season, so as not to worry about maintaining their place in the elite.
Prediction for the match: Genoa to win
