Genoa vs Cagliari: the Griffin have no margin for error

Genoa will take on Cagliari in another match of Serie A round 34 on Sunday. Who will be stronger? We will choose several options for you to bet on.

Alexander Blessin's team had a bad streak, losing to Verona, Lazio, and AC Milan one by one. In doing so, the Genoese have considerably complicated their struggle for survival. The Griffin are currently 19th in the standings, six points behind 17th place. Cagliari is sitting in 17th place, so the upcoming game against the Sardinians is definitely vital for Genoa.

Cagliari has noticeably improved under the guidance of one of the best coaches in modern Italian soccer, Walter Mazzarri. The islanders got out of the relegation zone and now occupy 17th place in the standings. So far the team has not solved the problem of retaining its place in the elite division, but beating Genoa almost solves it. In this case, the Sardinians will be 9 points above the bottom three in the championship.

The last matchday saw Cagliari claim a vital win against Sassuolo 1-0.

• Genoa: Aleksander Buksa, Zinho Vanheusden, Andrea Cambiaso, Nicolo Rovella, and Czyborra are questionable;
• Cagliari: Matteo Lovato, Nahitan Nandez, Kevin Strootman will not play. Edoardo Goldaniga, Adam Obert are questionable.

Genoa has four wins in a row over Cagliari, including the one in the first round of the current championship (3-2).

Genoa has no margin for error in the upcoming game. Losing the match would mean for the Genoese to practically give up on their chances to stay in Serie A for the next season. So, most likely, the Griffins will not lose. Especially when Cagliari have the right to falter. Even in case of defeat, the Sardinians will keep away from the relegation zone.

Prediction: Genoa will be closer to winning.
