Genoa take on the visitors Torino at “Stadio Luigi Ferraris” in the gameweek 38 of the Italian Serie A. The match will be played in Genoa on Sunday, May 20th.
Genoa had been fulfilling the only task for this season: to save the place in the Serie A for the next season. At the moment “Il Grifone” settle on the 12th position in the standings and is likely neither to drop down nor to get higher in it as, having picked up the required number of points, the footballers relaxed and stopped fighting which caused three defeats in a row. During that bad run Genoa lost even to Benevento which were the weakest team of the elite division in this season. Moreover, “I Rossoblu” won only three out of 12 latest clashes, having beaten just the rivals from the relegation zone. Thus, I have great doubts that the head-coach will manage to stimulate the players who have been mentally in vacations almost for a month already. Besides, “Il Grifone” will not be able to use its strongest line-up in the forthcoming tackle because of disqualification, injuries and tiredness of the key performers.

In their turn, Torino currently occupy the 10th place in the Serie A table and are not likely to drift away from that position. Still, it should be noted that after Walter Mazzarri’s appointment “Il Toro” started to show solid football, having reached at last the balance between its attack and defense. The side fails very seldom and only six clubs earned fewer defeats in this season than the upcoming visitors. Torino lost only two out of nine recent battles conducted within the elite division and just one out of 21 fights against the clubs which stay beyond top-eight. Six out of 10 failures of “Il Toro” happened against four best teams of the Serie A in this season.
The forthcoming head-to-head has no tournament value for clubs. However, Genoa can boast with only one impressive series in the mid-season which allowed the club to secure its place in the elite division while unmotivated Torino took points from the Napoli in the previous away tackle, having affected the champion’s race, consequently, I presume that “Il Toro” at least won’t fail in Genoa.
Prediction for the match: Torino to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
