Genoa take on the visitors Venezia in the round 20 match of Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Monday, January 16th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa).
Genoa are clearly trying to save the season after changing coach. The Griffins disappointed in the last Serie A draw. And Andriy Shevchenko also had a hand in that failure, that he headed this team for a considerable period - and, it seems, only aggravated the crisis. As a result, even the good work of his predecessor, Blessin, did not save the club from relegation. There were hopes that Alexander would be able to quickly return the wards back, but after a good start in Serie B there was a sharp failure. The reaction of the board was a new castling. Gilardino came as "acting", but after 2022 ended with 10 points in 4 rounds, Alberto became a full-fledged mentor.

Venice are at risk of experiencing a second fall in a row. The Winged Lions managed to break into Serie A in 2021 - after a couple of decades of vegetation and even several bankruptcies. But, having started powerfully, the newcomer eventually collapsed back from last place. And it seems to continue to fall even now, at a lower level. However, the statistics are not hopeless: 5 wins and draws in 19 games played, which is enough for the maximum to balance over the relegation zone. True, after a strong stretch in late autumn - early winter, Venice first lost to Perugia, and then, at home, pulled out a 2-2 draw with Parma.
Venice has only won once in 16 head-to-head fights, and that was back in 1997. True, last season, in Serie A, both meetings ended in a draw. But this fall, Genoa has already managed to win. Venice does not look like a team that has finally found itself. We recommend betting that Genoa to win.
Prediction for the match: Genoa to win.
