Both Genoa and Monza, after their defeat against the Serie A giants last week, are keen to quickly return to victory as they face off at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday.
Genoa vs AC Monza Betting Tips: Under 2.5
Despite suffering a close 1-2 loss in Monday’s match, Genoa will approach the upcoming weekend league game with confidence. They demonstrated strong competition against Serie A leaders, Inter, pushing them to their limits and causing tension and anxiety among the dedicated fans at the Giuseppe Meazza.
The Ligurian club has only suffered their second setback in their last 12 top-tier games. Their recent good form has allowed them to comfortably dispel their relegation fears, as they now have a solid 10-point lead over the relegation-threatened Cagliari.
Alberto Gilardino’s men are hopeful of securing points this weekend as they return to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. They have only failed to secure points twice in their last 10 home games, a testament to their strength on home ground. They’ve notably managed to draw against Inter, Juventus, and Napoli, and even triumphed over Roma with an impressive 4-1 victory.
AC Monza suffered a tough match against one of Italy’s respected clubs in their most recent league game, mirroring the experience of their Saturday opponents. They were overwhelmed by a revived Roma, led by De Rossi, resulting in a harsh 1-4 loss on their home ground. This devastating defeat ended their impressive five-game unbeaten run in the Serie A, which consisted of three wins and two draws.
The Biancorossi still hold a fervent dream of making their debut appearance on the European stage. However, they urgently need to counterattack against the Genoese. This may not seem like an insurmountable task, given that Palladino’s team managed to secure a slim 1-0 victory over them in their previous encounter this season.
On foreign soil, the Lombardian club has struggled to convert their chances into goals, resulting in them being left with a blank scoresheet in four of their last six Serie A away trips. As a consequence, the Biancorossi might find it tough to breach the defenses of their Saturday hosts, especially considering Genoa’s success in shutting down formidable attacking sides like Inter, Juventus, Milan, and Roma. Ultimately, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the outcome of this evenly matched contest is decided by a solitary strike.

Following his surgery for a tendon injury in mid-February, 19-year-old defender Alan Matturro faces a minimum of three months on the sidelines, effectively ruling him out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
On loan from Serie B side Cremonese, centre-back Johan Vasquez not only scored the final goal in his team’s 1-2 loss to league leaders Inter with a strike in the 54th minute but also earned a one-match suspension due to his fifth booking of the season.

AC Monza team news
In contrast to the Saturday hosts, Monza is dealing with some significant absences, as Gianluca Caprari remains sidelined for some time, while former Inter duo Danilo D’Ambrosio and Roberto Gagliardini are marked as doubtful for Saturday’s trip to Genoa.
Alongside them, Samuele Vignato also finds himself in the recovery room, addressing adductor issues, and coach Raffaele Palladino might be considering some changes after enduring a disappointing 1-4 thrashing by Roma last time out.
