-------------------------------------
Genoa
Since Patrick Vieira took charge as head coach of "Genoa" in November 2024, the "Grifoni" have yet to secure a home victory in seven Serie A matches, although they have lost only three of those. Despite drawing twice against "Cagliari" and "Torino" and suffering one defeat to title contender "Napoli", they have recorded back-to-back wins against "Parma" (1:0) and "Torino" (2:0), managing to keep a clean sheet in both matches.
A victory over "Venezia" would mark three consecutive home wins for the Genoese since the end of last season, when the "rossoblu" triumphed over "Cagliari" (3:0), "Sassuolo" (2:1), and "Bologna" (2:0). To climb one spot higher in the league table, "Genoa" must break their winless streak in the top division against "Venezia", a feat they have not accomplished since their 2:0 victory back in September 1962.
"We all know this is an important match for us and for them. It’s a clash between two teams with the same goal. We’re playing at home, and we all know our fans are a crucial factor. We expect a tough match ahead, we’ve had an important week of training, and the team is eager for success. We are focused on our goal.
Corne has returned to team training and had his first session with us, while Malinovsky is feeling better. We need to wait a bit more as he needs to be in good physical condition. He is improving every day, which is a positive sign.
Messias has trained for three weeks and played half an hour in the last match. Now he needs to play at 100%. He’s showing that he’s reaching a good level of fitness and is ready to start.
The losses of Thorsby and Badelj? We have lost experience," stated Patrick Vieira.
Venezia
"Lagunari" have not lost to "Genoa" in for 63 years. Eusebio Di Francesco’s side, currently sitting second from bottom, aims to achieve a repeat victory over their opponents for the first time in Serie A history - in the first round match, the "Winged Lions" secured a 2:0 win. However, given "Venezia"’s away performances this season, this task will be exceptionally challenging: they have gathered only 4 points in away matches this championship, all from draws. Moreover, "Venezia" has conceded the most goals away from home, with 24 goals against them.
"We haven't won away yet? Certainly, that puts pressure on me personally. We have been close to winning so many times; we need to do something more, and it will happen. An away victory must come," Di Francesco stated.
Genoa possible starting lineup:
Leali; Sabelli, Winter, Vasquez, Martin; Frendrup, Masini, Miretti; Zanoli, Pinamonti, Vitinha
Venezia possible starting lineup:
Radu; Marcandalli, Idzes, Cande; Ellertsson, Perez, Caviglia, Busio, Zerbin; Oristanio, Fila
Genoa vs Venezia Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have squared off 51 times in all competitions. The hosts have been the better side in these meetings with 25 wins. The Leoni alati have registered 10 wins and 16 games have ended in draws.
They last met in the reverse fixture in September when the visitors registered a 2-0 win.
Both teams have scored 22 goals in 24 league games this season. The hosts have the better defensive record, conceding six fewer goals (33).
Genoa have won their two home games in 2025 while keeping clean sheets.
Venezia have endured a winless run in their travels this season, suffering nine losses in 13 away games.
Only last-placed Monza have suffered more defeats (15) in Serie A this season than the visitors (14).
Four of the last five meetings between the two teams have produced under 2.5 goals, with the teams keeping two clean sheets each.
Prediction: Genoa 2-1 Venezia
Although Venezia last kept a Serie A clean sheet in the reverse meeting in September, Genoa have netted a goal in five of their previous six home fixtures in Liguria. Vieira's team are backed to record a third consecutive success at the Marassi to inflict the Lagunari's ninth away defeat this term.
