Since Davide Ballardini has been sitting on the bench, four of the 10 points have come in, after the victory in the Crotone field and the unbeaten draw with Rome. Lucky the Romagna coach, who has to thank De Rossi, rewarded with a red card and a penalty transformed by Lapadula. The Crotone lasted only a while at the “Allianz Stadium”, the Juventus field, before falling under the shots of Mandzukic, De Sciglio and Benatia. Certainly nothing could be done better, but the Calabrian rankings are even better than last year, while Genoa is in another difficult situation, but it seems to be out there. In the Italian Cup the two teams eliminated with an equal 2-1 respectively Cesena and Piacenza. Ballardini’s forced turn-over, which on Monday has a delicate match with Verona: Pellegri’s space, which takes place in attack next to Pandev. Certainly not even Davide Nicola will be disaggregated in view of the other clash with Udinese, so Budimir, who is disqualified, will play front with Stoian and Izco in support.

Only one point separates Genoa and Crotone in the Serie A standings.

The Ligurians have already won 4 points in 2 games with Ballardini on the bench.

The Calabres have suffered 18 goals away, the worst outside defense of the Serie A.

Genoa’s victory last November 19 is the third in the last 4 direct fights.

The fact that Genoa could not express on the field the technical qualities of his rose was quite obvious, but now with Ballardini on the bench the team is working well and it will be very difficult for the Crotone to prevent the Griffin from finally regaining his fans.

– Genoa win @ 1.75
– Over 2 goals @ 1.55
– Both teams to score / YES @ 2.00
