Genoa vs Cremonese predictions: Both teams are struggling
Key stats
- Genoa are 20th in the league with just three points (3D, 5L).
- Cremonese have drawn five of their last six games, losing the other one.
- The last four games involving the visitors returned goals from both sides.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 1-1 Cremonese
The visitors picked up back-to-back wins in August, including an impressive 2-1 victory away at San Siro against AC Milan, but after that, they have struggled badly.
Como, on the other hand, have picked up two wins in the Coppa Italia at home, but can they translate that form into the league and pick up a crucial home win?
Genoa have struggled to score goals, but they showed resilience in the 0-0 draw against Parma. Thus, while we predict both teams to score, it will not be a goal galore.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Genoa are favourites
- HOME: 17/20 (1.85) – 54.1%
- DRAW: 23/10 (3.3) – 30.3%
- AWAY: 7/2 (4.5) – 22.2%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Genoa finished 13th in the Serie A table last season with 43 points, and it is really shocking to see them struggling in this manner.
Il Grifone are badly in need of their first victory of the season, and the bookmakers have priced them at 17/20 (1.85), with 54.1% chances of winning.
Cremonese have failed to pick up a win since August, and naturally, the bookmakers have priced their odds of victory at 7/2 (4.5) with only 22.2% probability of success.
Both teams have not been at their free-flowing best, and they have been among the goals in recent games, so BTTS – Yes looks appealing at 4/6 (1.67), with a 59.9% chance of landing.

Genoa preview: The bad run needs to end
The Red and Blues started the season with a 0-0 draw against Lecce, followed by a 1-0 loss against Juventus.
Patrick Vieira's side have failed to win a single game in all competitions in October, suffering two defeats and a draw. They lost 2-1 to Napoli and Torino away, but their home form has been really concerning.
This is the club's worst in 50 years, and Vieira's job could be under serious threat if Genoa do not get back to winning ways.
Predicted lineup: Leali (GK), Norton-Cuffy, Ostigard, Vasquez, Martin, Frendrup, Masini, Ellertsson, Malinovskyi, Thorsby & Ekhator
Last five matches:
- Torino 2-1 Genoa
- Genoa 0-0 Parma
- Napoli 2-1 Genoa
- Genoa 0-3 Lazio
- Genoa 3-1 Empoli
Cremonese preview: Visitors can take positives
The newly promoted side stunned everyone when they won 2-1 against AC Milan, and then followed it up with a 3-2 win over Sassuolo.
However, five draws in six games, where Cremonese managed only two goals, show they are struggling too. However, as long as they are not losing and keep picking points, they should not be too concerned.
Predicted lineup: Silvestri (GK); Terracciano, Baschirotto, Faye, Vasquez, Payero, Bondo, Vandeputte, Pezzella, Bonazzoli & Vardy
Last five matches:
- Cremonese 1-1 Atalanta
- Cremonese 1-1 Udinese
- Inter 4-1 Cremonese
- Como 1-1 Cremonese
- Cremonese 0-0 Parma
Player to watch – Jamie Vardy
The 38-year-old striker moved to Cremonese on a free transfer in the summer transfer window after he ended his 13-year association with the Foxes.
Vardy has already scored one goal, and while he has lost his sharpness, he is still good enough to find the back of the net consistently.
