The action continues in round 13 of Serie A as Genoa and Cagliari lock horns at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium on Sunday.
Genoa failed to secure consecutive wins for the first time since July as they needed a 92nd-minute strike from Alessandro Vogliaccon to salvage a 1-1 draw with Como last time out.
That followed a 1-0 victory over Parma, with Andrea Pinamonti netting the only goal of the game in the second half to snap their nine-game winless run across competitions.
The first task at hand for new boss Patrick Vieira will be to solve the Rossoblu's defensive vulnerability. They have shipped 22 goals in Serie A, the second most in the division after 12 games.
Trending
Meanwhile, Cagliari turned in a resilient display in their final outing before the international break, fighting back from behind to secure a 3-3 draw with AC Milan at the Sardegna Arena.
Head coach Davide Nicola's side, though, are winless in four league games, losing three. With 10 points from 12 matches, Cagliari are 16th in the standings, ahead of Genoa on goal difference.
Genoa vs Cagliari Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Genoa have 19 wins from their last 40 meetings with Cagliari, losing 16.
- Genoa are one of two sides yet to taste victory at home in Seri A this season, losing three of seven games.
- Cagliari are winless in eight visits to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, losing seven, since a 2-1 victory in April.
Genoa vs Cagliari Prediction
After weeks of mediocre results, Genoa have picked up four points from their last six available. Vieira will aim to mark his debut at the dugout with a win, so the Rossoblu to see off an out-of-sorts Cagliari side at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium.
Prediction: Genoa 2-1 Cagliari
