Genoa vs Salernitana Prediction and Betting Tips | October 27th 2023

Genoa will entertain Salernitana at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris in Serie A on Friday.

The hosts suffered their fifth defeat of the season in their previous outing, falling to a 2-0 away loss at Atalanta last week, conceding twice in the second half. They failed to score for the fourth time this season in that loss and will look to improve upon that performance in this match. They remained in 15th place in the league table despite that loss.

The visitors' winless run in the league continued last week as they held Cagliari to a 2-2 draw in their first game back from the international break. Late drama ensued as three goals were scored after the 88th minute and Boulaye Dia scored the equalizer in the fifth minute of injury time, completing his brace.

With just four points from nine games, they remained in 19th place in the league table and are one of just three teams with a winless record thus far.

Genoa vs Salernitana Prediction

The Grifone have just two wins in their last 11 Serie A outings, with one of them coming at home. At home, they are unbeaten in their last five meetings against the visitors, recording three wins. Seven of their 10 goals in the Serie A this season have been scored in four home games.

They remain without the services of Filip Jagiełło and Junior Messias through injuries while Mateo Retegui faces a late fitness test as he is recovering from a knee ailment.

The Granata have endured a winless start to their league campaign and three of their five defeats this season have come in their travels. They have just one win in their away games in the Serie A in 2023 and might struggle in this match. Just two of their six goals in the league this term have come in their travels.

Fortunately, they have no major absentees for the match and we expect Filippo Inzaghi to field a similar starting XI that he named in his debut game.

Nonetheless, considering the current form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw might ensue.

Prediction: Genoa 1-1 Salernitana
