Currently sitting 13th in the Serie A, just 6 points from safety, Genoa need to keep winning games, beginning this week against Spal. Nothing but a win will be good enough from this game for Genoa however Spal are in the same struggle. This will be a tight game.
Spal will struggle to finish anywhere other than their current position of 17th this season. They struggle to put a run of wins together and are very inconsistent means they will hover around the relegation zone all season long. A win is vital being only 1 point above the relegation zone
Genoa vs. Spal, Prediction, Tips & Odds
Serie A – Saturday 31st March 2018 – 14:00
Genoa Form
Genoa in the last 6 home games have managed to win three times, they have beaten Benevento, Sassuolo & more importantly Inter. Genoa’s other games have resulted in 3 losses against Atalanta who are a very good side, Udinese & AC Milan.
On the plus side for Genoa, their home form is as above ok however they do no concede many goals. Only 4 sides have conceded less than Genoa and they are the top 4 teams!
Spal Form
The 0-0 draw result with Juventus was a great result, Juventus who have won every game in their previous 5 games came unstuck vs Spal.
This will give Spall a huge boost and will try to spur them onto a positive result, this will make them a dangerous opponents for Genoa. However, it’s away from home and Spal will have to play well to overcome Genoa.
In Spal’s last 6 away games they have seen only 1 wins, 2 draws & 3 defeats. Most recently drawing against Sassuolo. Although Spal have struggled to score goals recently they managed to beat Crotone 3-2 their only win in 6. Other games ended in draws with Udinese and defeats to Sampdoria, Cagliari & Napoli.
Team News
Genoa will be without Aleandro Rosi as he is suspended following booking against Napoli. Miguel Veloso is back in training following a leg break however I don’t think he will make the team sheet. Galabinov has a slight thigh injury however unsure how serious that is. Other than that minimal changes are expected to the starting XI.
Spal will be without their central midfielder Kurtic following a yellow card vs Juventus, he has been suspended due to disciplinary points and will miss the game. Other than that minimal changes are expected to the starting XI.

Genoa v Spal Betting Tips
Looking at both teams recent form both home & away I believe this will be a very close contested game with not many goals in it. Genoa are a very strong side defensively although they dont have a great record of scoring. Spal will struggle to break down Genoa’s defensive unit however if they do I cant see them scoring more than 1 goal and likely to end in a draw this game. With that in mind the draw looks a solid bet this is available at 3.34 with Coral.
