Genoa hosts Verona in round 23 of Italian Serie A. The match will be played on Saturday, February 20th at Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
Before the new year, Genoa had only 9 points in the asset and was in the top three outsiders. The team's management apparently looked at the table, was horrified by the performance of their brainchild, and immediately fired coach Maran. Therefore, the bosses invited a rather experienced mentor, who worked in Cagliari, Palermo, and Lazio and headed Genoa three times, Davide Ballardini. And the Griffins pleasantly amazed all the experts - they lost only once in the next seven matches and gained four victories. Having scored 14 points during this segment, Genoa left the relegation zone and is already in 11th place!

Verona was good at the beginning of this year. It gained two victories and tied with Torino in the first three matches. But then the results became too unstable - a loss, a victory, two losses, and a victory over Parma, which takes penultimate place in the standings (and even then, the Mastiffs were losing). Verona's away performance cannot be called too bad, but the team gained only three victories in 11 away matches. And the last three games ended in defeats.
Genoa is on an incredible roll. The management guessed right with the coach, and most importantly, it decided to arrange the personnel reshuffle on time. Ballardini knows the team from the inside like no one else. He managed to get across to his players from the outset, and they, in turn, began to show a positive result. As recently as in the round before last, the Griffins beat the 5th Napoli, and now they will do their best to gain points in a meeting with unstable Verona. On top of that, Genoa has played quite successfully against Verona over the past 17 years. During this period, the rivals met 17 times, and Verona won only three home matches. The hosts won the last five games in Genoa. Most likely, they will win this time too, but it will not be superfluous to insure them with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Genoa to win with 0.0 handicap
