Genoa have made a disastrous start to the new Serie A season. The team lost their first three matches: 0-2 to Napoli, 0-1 to Lazio, and 1-4 to Genoa. In their previous game, they picked up their first point of the season by drawing 1-1 with Frosinone. One point after four rounds, 19th place in the table and a 2:8 goal difference. In the Coppa Italia, Genoa beat Ascoli 4-1 in the first round and will now try to progress further.
Sudtirol first eliminated Catanzaro in the first round of the Coppa Italia on penalties. Since then, the team have not lost and remain unbeaten.

They are currently third in the table and have eight points after four rounds, with a 5:2 goal difference.
