On Friday night, relegation-threatened Genoa host midtable Torino in Serie A, with the hosts desperate for points in the fight for survival in the Italian top-flight.
Genoa have failed to win in any of their last 26 matches in Serie A, yet are still only six points adrift of safety.
The reason for that lifeline still being available is because incredibly the hosts have drawn their last seven matches in the Italian top-flight.
In fact, they have drawn nine of their last 11 games in Serie A.
Genoa’s recent league games have been low-scoring, tight affairs with under 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 11 outings in the Italian top-flight. They have kept three straight clean sheets in Serie A, but have also failed to score in their last three league outings too.
The Rossoblu have been poor on home soil of late in the Italian top-flight, winning just one of their last 16 Serie A matches at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
Torino heads into this game in the limbo of the middle of Serie A where they look unlikely to claim a European spot and are also not going to suffer relegation.
The Granata are currently on a seven-game winless run in the Italian top-flight. However, a 1-1 home draw with reigning champions Inter last time out was a highly respectable result.
The game continued a recent run of low-scoring games for Torino in Serie A, as five of their last seven matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
Torino have not been great on their travels of late in Serie A, winning just once in their last 11 away matches.
Forebet predicts that this game will produce yet another draw low-scoring draw for Genoa, which will do little to aid their chances of making a great escape this season.
