Genoa vs Verona: a fight for survival

Genoa and Verona meet, both with the goal of climbing out of danger.

It will be an an early relegation battle between Genoa and Verona. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three, earning five of their eight points this season in a win over Sassuolo and draws with Fiorentina and Cagliari, but are still searching for a first victory under Daniele De Rossi. Verona sit two points behind, still winless in the league and desperate to bounce back from their defeat to Parma and to escape the bottom spot.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

There have been 37 official meetings between the two sides at Marassi, with Genoa winning 19 (most recent a 1–0 victory in the 2023/24 Serie A), 14 draws (most recent 3–3 in the 2021/22 Serie A) and 4 Verona wins (most recent 2–0 in last season’s Serie A).

DID YOU KNOW?

Among teams that started a Serie A season with 20 clubs and 3 points for a win without a victory in the first 12 matchdays, the only one to avoid relegation was Cagliari in 2005/06, who finished 14th. he Sardinians earned their first win on matchday 13, 2–0 at home against Sampdoria with a Suazo brace, after already going through three coaching changes – from Tesser to Arrigoni, from Ballardini to Nedo Sonetti – with Sonetti masterminding the comeback that kept them up. Verona have the least prolific attack in Serie A 2025/26, with 7 goals scored in 12 games.

COACHES and PLAYERS

Paolo Zanetti scored his first professional goal against Genoa: it was November 5, 2002, Vicenza-Genoa 1-0 in Serie B, at the "Menti". In 6 total encounters, Zanetti has 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats against the Grifone. Leo Ostigard has scored in 3 consecutive matches: for the Norwegian defender, this represents a career record for goals in a single league season.
