Genoa hosts Sassuolo in round 18 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Sunday, January 5th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
In the past two months, Genoa showed a large percentage of ball possession. Perhaps this style was a mistake, but after losing to Inter (0:4), Motta was dismissed, and an agreement was signed with Davide Nicola, who was tasked not to relegate from the championship. Club’s president is surely not happy with the club’s position. There was news about the possible return of Destro, the purchase of Borini and the signing of a contract with Krmenchyk; besides, goalkeeper Perin was taken on loan from Juventus, and the management signed a contract with experienced midfielder Behrami, who had already played for eight years in Italy. The club made a restructuring and it should help it improve its results, but even before that, Genoa played at home more or less worthily, having scored eight goals in eight home games.

Sassuolo has Berardi, who was included in the symbolic team of the first round, ranking second and even outstripping Ronaldo, but he has excellent helpers. For example, Boga (4 + 1) who has the most shots in the championship, and Caputo who also gained good shape (8 + 4). Thanks to such an acute attack, Sassuolo does not mind to concede because it is easy for the team to win back, and it proved in the match with Juventus (2:1).
Fiorentina, Atalanta, and Milan have already conceded goals from Genoa, and Sassuolo does not differ much in the level so as not to concede. The Black and Greens are ready to score more than their rivals, but the teams are not used to goal shootouts. Under 4.5 goals scored was recorded in seven out of eight home matches of Genoa, and Sassuolo has the same result on the road. I think that we are unlikely to see goal extravaganza, but each team should score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes and Under 4.5 goals scored
