Genoa vs Parma predictions: The hosts are favoured to win
Key stats
- Four of Genoa's last five league encounters recorded over 2.5 goals.
- Both teams found the back of the net in four of Genoa's last five matches.
- Two of Parma's last three fixtures returned at least three total strikes.
- Genoa won three of their last five head-to-head meetings.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 2-1 Parma
Genoa enters this contest waiting to record their first win of the current campaign after six fixtures. Having finished 13th in the previous season, the Red and Blues would have aimed to start the season on a strong note in their quest to improve their final position in the standings.
However, that has not been the case, as Patrick Vieira is under pressure to turn the fortunes of his team around before the hierarchy at Genoa becomes apprehensive about their situation.
Parma, on the other hand, have fared a little better with a solitary win, two draws, and three losses in their first six encounters of the season. Given the need for the home side to start getting results, coupled with the vociferous support expected from the home fans, Genoa could be in line for their second win of the season.
