Genoa vs Cagliari prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 24, 2024
This Sunday, November 24, Genoa will host Cagliari in a Matchday 13 clash in Serie A. The game will take place in Genoa, kicking off at 12:30 PM Central European Time. Here's a preview of the match, along with an analysis of what to expect.
Match Preview
During the international break, Genoa made a bold decision to change their head coach. Following a lackluster start to the season, the club parted ways with Alberto Gilardino and brought in Patrick Vieira to take the reins.
It will be intriguing to see how the legendary Frenchman adapts to Italian football. Genoa's primary struggle this season has been in attack, with the team scoring very few goals.
Cagliari, meanwhile, sits close to Genoa in the league standings. Although their head coach's job appears safe for now, the team has managed to secure just one point in their last four games.
With both teams hovering near the relegation zone, they’ll need to adopt a more aggressive approach. A draw benefits neither side, which sets the stage for an exciting and high-stakes encounter.
Key Match Facts
- Genoa is winless in their last seven Serie A home games.
- Cagliari has conceded goals in each of their last seven matches.
- Genoa averages 0.8 goals per home game, while Cagliari averages 1 goal per away game.
Probable Lineups
- Genoa: Leali, Matturro, Melegoni, Vogliacco, Martin, Frendrup, Badelj, Thorsby, Sabelli, Ekator, Pinamonti.
- Cagliari: Scuffet, Augello, Luperto, Palomino, Zappa, Deiola, Makoumbou, Luvumbo, Zortea, Viola, Piccoli.
Head-to-Head
Cagliari hasn’t beaten Genoa on the road in over 10 years and has failed to score in their last five encounters with them.
Prediction
The coaching change should provide a spark for the home side. Genoa is likely to have a better chance at a positive result in this match. My recommendation for a bet would be on Genoa scoring over 1 goal in this game.
