Genoa vs Verona prediction, head-to-head and probable line-ups - 29.11.2025
One of the fixtures of Serie A's Matchday 12 will take place on Saturday at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, where the local side Genoa hosts tournament underdogs Verona. Let's take a look at the goals market in this clash, which offers a good chance of success.
Match preview
Daniele De Rossi's team is gradually coming to life after a sluggish start—three games unbeaten and seven goals scored signal clear progress. Most importantly, the Griffins have finally started finding the net at home—two goals against Fiorentina before the international break confirmed the positive momentum.
The recent draw with Cagliari was a real thriller—3-3, full of emotions and dramatic twists. Taking into account their position in the table and the home atmosphere, Genoa has a real chance to escape the relegation zone and overtake rivals Pisa and Lecce.
Meanwhile, Verona's situation is dire—the team remains the only side in Serie A yet to win a match this season. Their last league victory dates back to the end of last season, with 12 rounds having passed since then.
Another ongoing issue is their away form: just two goals scored in six away games, and not a single victory. Even though they managed to beat Genoa in Genoa last season, the current squad looks far too lackluster to repeat that success.
Probable line-ups
- Genoa: Leali, Marcandalli, Østigård, Vásquez, Sabelli, Malinovskyi, Frendrup, Thorsby, Martin, Colombo, Vitinha
- Verona: Montipò, Bella-Kotchap, Nelson, Frese, Belgali, Harroui, Gagliardini, Bernède, Bradarić, Giovane, Orban
Match facts and head-to-head
- Verona are winless in their last 12 Serie A matches.
- Genoa have scored seven goals in their last three league games.
- Last season, Verona won in Genoa 2-0, but that remains Genoa’s only home defeat to this opponent since 2016.
Prediction
Despite certain defensive issues, Genoa are currently superior in terms of quality, form, and mentality. Verona haven’t tasted victory in over half a year and look especially weak on the road. We believe Genoa will win this one, but don't expect a high-scoring affair.
