Genoa hosts Sampdoria in round 25 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Wednesday, March 3rd at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Genoa was hammered with a 3-0 score in the last round. But this was quite expected because the Griffins played against Nerazzurri, who are the motivated leaders of Calcio. Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring already in the 1st minute. After the break, the fans saw two more goals from Darmian (after a pass from the Belgian) and Sanchez. But before that, the club from Genoa had a 7-match unbeaten streak in Serie A. In any case, the bet (another one) on David Ballardini works, and the team managed to turn from a fighter for survival into a strong middle peasant of the championship. But the impression is that the drive is gradually being lost. After three victories in a row, Genoa gained only a goalless draw with the fighter for survival, Torino. And on February 20, only Shomurodov's goal in the 94th minute saved the Griffins from a home defeat to Verona.

Following the results of the season before last, Sampdoria made it to the European Cups under Giampaolo. But after the mentor left, the team showed a terrible start to the 2019/2020 draw, and only a successful bet on Claudio Ranieri helped to climb to 15th place in the end. Now the club from Genoa feels quite confident in the middle of the standings and clearly does not think about the risk of relegation – it has 30 points after 24 rounds. But at the same time, Sampdoria is still unstable. In October, the team gained four victories in a row, but then it could not win even once in seven consecutive meetings. Then the alternation of won and lost matches continued, but the segments became shorter - 1-2 successful matches were replaced by the same number of failures. But after a 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, Ranieri's players have already lost twice (0-1 to Lazio and 0-2 to Atalanta). However, the rivals were rather strong.
For a long time, Sampdoria was much better in head-to-head meetings. In 2014-2019, it lost only one game out of 12. But last year everything changed by 180 degrees - Genoa won in Serie A and the cup and gained a 1-1 draw last fall. The upcoming match is important for both teams, especially since it is a derby. However, it is unlikely that the fans will see scoring extravaganza, so we recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
