Genoa vs Cremonese prediction: ITALY: Serie A betting tips on match 2025-10-28 19:45.
[p]Two teams who can’t buy a win at the moment will square off when Genoa host Cremonese, with both sides looking to prey on each other’s poor form.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite three other Serie A teams also being winless in the top flight this season, Genoa appear to be the worst of the bunch, remaining at the foot of the table after losing 2-1 to Torino last time out despite scoring first. Patrick Vieira’s men can’t catch a break, as that’s the third time this campaign they’ve lost after opening the scoring. A return home to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is unlikely to provide much comfort either, as the Griffins are yet to score a home league goal this term![/p]
[p]Cremonese won their first two games back in Serie A, only to then draw five and lose one of the six games since then, including a 1-1 draw at home to Atalanta last time out during which they led. The Tigers ought not to be too despondent though as they sit a comfortable 11th place pre-round, as manager Davide Nicola returns to a club he’s played for and managed in the past. He has had limited success in the opposition dugout against them, having never beaten Genoa in nine previous attempts in management (D6, L3), but a positive away league record this season (W1, D2, L1) should provide a small confidence boost. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]This is the first encounter between these sides this century, but Genoa have won six of the last seven H2Hs at home, with five of those victories being accompanied by a clean sheet (L1).[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
