Genoa vs Cagliari tips and predictions

Genoa might not have things all their own way

There's not much between Genoa and Cagliari in the Serie B. The hosts are in fourth place with 14 points, compared to their opponents who are in ninth place on 10 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Genoa has made them a horrible bet. Cagliari don't look likely to get the job done but they can ask some questions. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick.

There have been some notable displays in defence by both sides. Looking secure clearing their lines, Genoa have conceded only 1 goal in their last 3 matches. Meanwhile Cagliari have been impressive defensively on the road. They have let in an average of 0.5 goals per game over their last 4 matches away from home.

I Rossoblu are decent favourites and it is possible they just don't give any morsels away to Gli Isolani. It might not stand out but the BTTS No bet would be sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 1.5 picked as the best play given the prices available.

Genoa have drawn 7 of their last 15 matches on their own soil. Also Cagliari have drawn 3 of their last 5 away matches. It isn't very exciting and it feels like a match to be on your guard about and so the draw is certainly food for thought. A stalemate is on the cards after what could be a low-scoring affair.
