Genoa come into this one in decent shape, having won two of their last five matches and picking up a draw in their most recent outing. Monza have been up and down — they won two of their last five as well, but they also lost their last match and were on the wrong end of a high-scoring game earlier in the season. When these two teams meet, there are usually goals: their recent meetings produced two, three, and even four goals, so this one could be busy at both ends.

Monza have had the better of the recent head-to-head record, winning two of the last four against Genoa. Genoa's recent form is a bit steadier, though, and they will be playing at home. Overall, this looks like a close match that could go either way, but Genoa's slight edge in consistency at home makes a draw or a narrow Genoa win the most likely outcome.
