Genoa - Hellas Verona predictions

Though Genoa are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with Genoa, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

Genoa held the line against Cagliari in the last round, though the end result was a 3:3 draw. Still, this can be considered a mild success given the difficult match-up and home-field disadvantage.

Top bookmakers online were fairly optimistic about Hellas Verona’s chances in the previous round. However, Parma defeated them 1:2 after establishing dominance in the first half.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Genoa have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Verona have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

This is a rather rough matchup for Genoa, but they’ll want to give their best after a disastrous start to the season. They are currently number 18th in the standings, which is well within the relegation zone.

With most of the season still ahead, Verona definitely have a chance at avoiding relegation. They’re currently down in the relegation zone with just 6 points to their name. Unfortunately, their hopes of earning any points this Saturday are quite slim, seeing how they’re the clear underdogs.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat Genoa suffered last season. Verona walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Saturday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.63, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
