Genoa won in thrilling match against Lille in Europe League on Thursday night. They scored just few moments before final whistle for victory 3:2 after they lost 2:0 leading on half time 5 minutes before the end. “We suffered in this game, but it is a victory that is well deserved. At this point we have to believe in qualifying from the group and I’m sure that, with a little bit of sacrifice, we can go all the way,” said Enrico Preziosi, Genoa president, after that match. In Serie A, they are doing well, especially at home. With 3 wins from 5 games and 11 scored goals they look like strong home team although they lost against Inter 0:5. After that they won against strong Fiorentina 2:0 at home and draw against Palermo 0:0 away and showed that lost against Inter was just bad luck and probably just one exception. Now they expect important match in Serie A against bottom rocked Siena. They will try to beat them and move up to the top part of the table. Gasperini likes offensive tactics with 3-4-3 formation and that sometimes give to opponents too much space in defense. Gasperini will have almost full squad for this encounter.
Siena will probably relegate this year
After nine matches winless run, Siena are in big problem, although they took one point in 0:0 draw against Lazio in their last league match. “It was important to put in a performance today and we did that,” new coach, Baroni declared. Siena is the last on standings with only six points from 11 matches. After 2:1 lost against Bologna, youth team tactician Marco Baroni replaced coach Giampaolo before the match against Lazio and that point is probably his “guilty” but they need to start winning soon if they want to escape from relegation zone. The departure of chief playmaker Kharja has left Siena without creativity up front. Siena will now travel to Genoa and positive result for them will be great morale boost. They will try to take advantage of Genoa’s tiredness. Siena has better scoring capabilities on the travels and also they shocked Genoa two years ago at this stadium. New coach Baroni will have almost full squad for this match and he will probably start with Maccarone as alone striker.
Home win should be good choice
Genoa are on good run now after 3 important games with 2 wins at home and one draw away. They have quality team which can beat any opponent. Siena have shown some improvements after they changed coach but that was at home where they already had better results. One more time there are two options for betting. Over 2.5 goals or home win is dilemma. I expect Genoa to score at least 2 goals and Siena could also score one goal but that could be their maximum. In such situation, logical decision is home win with high-medium steak.
