Analysis:

Both of these teams are battling for a spot in Europe so neither can afford to lose here. These two teams are also having 39 points each coming into this match and are only separated by goal difference. The side that comes out on top of this encounter will receive a huge boost to their European qualifying hopes.

There are not much to separate these two teams. They both adopt the same attacking style of play and even have almost similar colours on the pitch. While Genoa have scored 44 goals this season, Cagliari have scored 43. And only the top three sides in Serie A have scored more than these two sides.

However these two sides are also lacking consistency otherwise they could be battling for a Champions League spot!

Genoa's last home game saw seven goals being scored, which could suggest a goalfest on the cards here today. They lost that game 3-4 and was only their second home defeat all season. Genoa will be eager to make up for it by getting all three points over Cagliari here.

As for the team news, Genoa are set to miss the likes of Dario Dainelli and Bosko Jankovic due to injuries. The visitors will be without Andrea Lazzari and Michele Canini as they are out with bans. Meanwhile the likes of Michael Agazzi, Francesco Pisano and Mario Brkljaca are out with injuries for the visitors.

Take Genoa to get the win here.

Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
