Genoa and Venezia face off in a crucial Serie A clash
Genoa looking to extend their unbeaten run, while Venezia fight for survival
Genoa
Genoa will be looking to extend their unbeaten run to five matches when they host Venezia on Sunday. The Grifone have been in impressive form of late, winning three of their last four matches, including a 2-0 victory over Lazio last weekend.
Mattia Destro has been in fine form for Genoa, scoring four goals in his last four matches. The Italian striker will be looking to continue his hot streak against a Venezia side who have struggled defensively this season.
Genoa are currently 12th in the Serie A standings, eight points clear of the relegation zone. A win on Sunday would all but secure their safety for another season.
Venezia
Venezia, meanwhile, are fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table. The Lagunari are currently 19th in the standings, four points from safety. They have won just one of their last eight matches, and they will need to start picking up points soon if they want to avoid relegation.
David Okereke has been Venezia's standout player this season, scoring seven goals in 28 appearances. The Nigerian striker will be looking to add to his tally against a Genoa side who have conceded 40 goals in 29 matches this season.
Venezia will be without several key players for the match against Genoa, including Sofian Kiyine, Ethan Ampadu, and Tyronne Ebuehi. This will make their task even more difficult against a Genoa side who are in good form.
Prediction
Genoa will be the favorites to win this match. They are in good form, and they have a strong home record. Venezia, on the other hand, are struggling for form and confidence. They will need to produce a big performance if they want to get anything from this match.
I predict that Genoa will win the match 2-0.
