Cagliari vs Genoa Prediction & Betting tips
Last season, the championship race in Serie A was relatively monotonous. The old lady from Turin dominated the league again at will and chose already five games before the end of the season for the eighth time in a row to the Italian champions. Only the race for the lucrative starting places of the Champions League remained exciting over long distances.
Also in the lower third of the table there was a contested race for the league. On the final day three teams were in the relegation battle, including the FC Genoa. With a draw and Schützenhilfe from Milan Genoa managed the conceivable tight league. In the new season Genoa wants to stay away with the new head coach Aurelio Andreazzoli the relegation battle.
The start of the season was quite impressive with the well-known opponents so far. With an away win at AS Roma and a home win over Fiorentina, there were the first points for the Rossoblu from Genoa. Countable was often sought in vain on foreign terrain last season. If the away weakness continues in the new season, a Cagliari against Genoa forecast on the guests is rather discouraged.
The hosts from Cagliari had not convinced just like Genoa in the distance, but the achievements could be seen at home. In the first two home games of Serie A, however, there were two defeats for Cagliari.
Cagliari:
Last season Cagliari Calcio did not really run smoothly, so the optimism for the start of the season with two defeats in a row should be quickly fizzled out. After the opening defeat against the promoted from Brescia there was also a defeat at home against Inter Milan. Only after the international break, the team of Rolando Maran has secured the first three points of the new Serie A season.
In the away game against Parma, a brace from center-back Ceppitelli in the first half made for a good starting position in the match. With the result management the Maran-Elf did not have too big problems over the game.
Seasonally, the team of Rolando Maran has already lost four home games in series. It was the home record of 8-6-5 in the last season actually quite solid. Maran wants to record the first points at home with a home victory over Genoa. The away weakness of the guests is the Cagliari coach quite convenient.
With players like Nainggolan, Cragno, Simeone or Nandez, the squad of Cagliari Calcio is heavily staffed. Rolando Maran has not been able to draw on the full since the beginning of the season and continues to complain about a large military hospital. Six players will miss the home game against Genoa.
Last season, Cagliari had booked the third worst goal in Serie A, so the three goals in the away game against Parma were surprising.
Genoa:
After the catastrophic last season, Genoa starts the next series A adventure with Aurelio Andreazzoli. The new coach of the Rossoblu jumped last season as an interim solution at Empoli FC, but could not prevent the descent. With his new commitment this season Andreazzoli wants to stay away with Genoa the relegation battle and was able to regain a lot of self-confidence.
For the season opener, there was a contested 3: 3 draw at the Giallorossi from Rome. Looking at the away performances of Genoa in the last season, the surprising draw at home strong AS Roma was promising. At home there were equally strong performances with a home win over Fiorentina and a last-minute defeat at Atalanta.
In the recent defeat against Atalanta Bergamo Genoa had scored in extra time equalizer after penalties. An individual action by Duvan Zapata finally gave the guests from Bergamo victory at the last minute.
Last season, Genoa had only scored 12 points on foreign territory. Seasonally Genoa has not won since ten away games in series. The only two away wins in the last season were against the relegated Frosinone and Empoli.
In the squad of Rossblu from Genoa, there were some changes in the summer. However, top performers could be kept as far as possible in the team. Stefano Sturaro, who has already played on loan at Rossoblu, has been firmly committed. With many more new entrants are coach Andreazzoli now numerous options in the squad available.
In the away game in Cagliari only Francesco Cassata is missing due to injury.
