Genoa will take on Torino at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday, with the Grifone desperate to steer themselves away from the mounting pressure of the relegation zone.
A 0-0 stalemate with Cremonese last weekend halted Genoa’s two-match losing streak, which had come against upper-table opponents Lazio and Napoli. Sitting just three points clear of the relegation zone at the start of the round, the Rossoblu remain under pressure.
However, there are encouraging signs for manager Daniele De Rossi, particularly at home. Genoa have been beaten only once in their previous four matches on their own turf, and that sole defeat came via a stoppage-time penalty against Napoli.
Meanwhile, Torino’s downturn continued with a 2-1 loss to Bologna last Sunday, their seventh defeat in 11 competitive outings. Their Coppa Italia exit during that run may at least allow them to concentrate fully on league survival.
The Granata are only three points ahead of Genoa, but that cushion is shrinking after five defeats in their last seven league fixtures. Although they showed fighting spirit in a 2-2 comeback draw away at Fiorentina, inconsistency continues to undermine them.

Genoa vs Torino prediction: Expect a draw in this game
Key statistics
- Half-time draws have been played thrice in their last five encounters.
- Both teams have played a full-time draw in three of their last five meetings.
- Over 4.5 total cards have been received by both teams in four of their last five clashes.
Correct score prediction: Genoa 1-1 Torino
We expect a very tight and cagey affair at the Marassi this weekend. We predict a 1-1 draw between Genoa and Torino, given both teams' recent defensive struggles and their tendency to cancel each other out in past encounters.
The Grifone are significantly stronger on their own turf, and we believe they will do enough to earn a point but may lack the clinical edge to secure all three.
Pre-match odds and win probability: Genoa are slight favourites
- Home: 5/4 (2.25) – 44.4%
- Draw: 2/1 (3.00) – 33.3%
- Away: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%

The draw is available at 3.00 (2/1), which translates to a 33.3% chance of the sides sharing the spoils, suggesting the market sees this as a competitive encounter.
Torino are valued at 3.40 (12/5), implying a 29.4% probability of an away win, indicating they are slight underdogs but still very much in contention.
Most recent head-to-head: Granata hold a slight edge
The head-to-head history between these two sides has been incredibly balanced in recent years, with very little to separate them on the scoreboard. In their last five meetings, Torino have managed to claim two victories, while the other three matches have ended in draws.
The most recent encounter in October 2025 saw Torino secure a 2-1 home win, which followed a 1-1 draw in February 2025. Interestingly, before those results, the teams played out two consecutive 0-0 stalemates in late 2024 and early 2024.

Player to watch: Ruslan Malinovskyi
Ruslan Malinovskyi continues as an important player for Genoa this season. The midfielder has been in impressive form, contributing five goals and three assists in Serie A.
The attacker has also scored in three back-to-back games for his team. With his creativity in midfield and his ability to get into the box and score goals, the responsibility will fall on his shoulders to help his team avoid defeat.
