Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris - Genova
Since Vieira became Genoa manager (November 20), the Grifone have collected 13 points in eight league matchdays: in the period only Napoli, Atalanta and Inter have done better in Serie A.
Genoa achieved their first home win in this campaign: the last time they won at home in Serie A was back on 24th of May 2024 against Bologna.
Since the beginning of November, Genoa have lost only one match in Serie A (out of 10 played). Only Juventus, Atalanta and Inter have done better (0 each) in this period.
Genoa have won their last two Serie A matches against Parma (2-1 in March 2021 and 1-0 in November 2024) and they have never won three games in a row against the Gialloblù in the top flight. In addition, the last time the Grifone kept two clean sheets in a row against the Ducali in the competition was back in October 2013 (0-0 and 1-0 in that case).
Among the opponents faced in at least 30 matches in Serie A, only against Torino (seven) have Parma recorded fewer defeats than those registered against Genoa (10).
After losing only one of their first 12 home matches against Parma in Serie A (W6 D5), Genoa have lost each of their last three, with an overall score of 3-9; in the period (since 2018/19), among the teams that the Rossoblù have faced more than once at the Ferraris stadium in the top-flight, the Ducali are the one that have scored the most goals on average per game (3.0).
Genoa haven’t lost in eight of their last nine league games (W3 D5), keeping five clean sheets in the period; since the beginning of November 2024, indeed, no team has kept more clean sheets than the Grifone in Serie A (five, level with Inter and AC Milan).
Genoa are one of only two teams, with Monza, with zero wins in home games in Serie A this season: six draws and four defeats in 10 home games for the Ligurians - only once have they remained without a win in each of their first 11 home games of the season in the top-flight (D5 L6 in 2021/22).
