| After an initially strong series with three wins in five games before February, Genoa has recently lost some ground again. Recent results were a 1-2 defeat against Fiorentina followed by a 1-1 draw against Torino. This show us that they have had difficulty coming back from behind recently. Nevertheless, the overall development of Genoa under Patrick Vieira is not bad, considering how difficult the situation was at the beginning of the season. A key factor in the successful season so far for Italy's oldest club is their home strength. Things are going much better for Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris than away. Two wins in a row and only one defeat in the last six home games. The defense in particular has shown itself to be stable recently, which could be a decisive advantage against an opponent like Venezia, who has big problems scoring goals. Venezia is still in danger of falling into Serie B. The club from the lagoon city is stuck deep in the relegation zone and has now been waiting for a win for seven games. Although there have been some respectable draws recently, the lack of ideas in attack and the catastrophic defensive work have destroyed any hope of staying in the league. Their away record is particularly bad. |
