Indeed, Genoa has been virtually unbeaten under Patrick Vieira, although they have won just two of their seven games since the new coach's appointment.

Genoa played away to Lecce in the previous round, creating dangerous moments at 1.08 expected goals but not realizing their chances. However, they did not concede—0:0. This draw was the fifth for the Genoese in the last eight games and the eighth in 19 rounds of the championship. The Griffins have scored just 16 goals. Only Lecce has scored fewer—11.
