- Competition: Serie A
- Date: Monday, 27th January, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
- Venue: Stadio Luigi Ferraris (Genoa)
After securing promotion to Serie A in 2022/23, Genoa had a good following season, finishing 11th. This year, the Griffons are playing a similar season, considering they are in 12th place with 23 points in 21 matches - 1.01 per game, which is around 0.2 points per game less than last season. While it is still early, it seems they are on pace for another mid-table finish. However, they are only four points away from the danger zone, and they have to keep winning points, especially against the teams at the bottom of the league's table.
Monza secured promotion to Serie A in the 2021/22 season and had a fantastic two seasons after that, finishing 11th and 12th. Unfortunately for them, this season has been a struggle from the very start. They are in 20th (last) place with 13 points from 21 matches. Right now, they are already seven points away from the safe zone.
Genoa vs Moza pick: Both teams to score
Genoa are in solid form, winning seven points in the last four matches. They have scored at least one goal in four of the last five games. Moreover, they have scored at least a goal in nine of 13 matches at home - almost 70%. On the other hand, they haven't been impressive defensively as they only had three clean sheets at home in all competitions.
Monza are in terrible form, losing seven of the last eight games. However, more importantly for our bet, they are scoring regularly and have done so on seven occasions, regardless of the results. Also, away from home, they have been fantastic for this bet, with both teams scoring in five of the last six matches - 83%.
Considering all the above, we strongly believe that both teams to score bet is the safest option for this Serie A game.

Genoa team news
In the previous game against AS Roma, central defender Mattia Bani suffered an injury and had to leave the field after only 32 minutes. The 31-year-old defender started in 67% of Genoa's Serie A games, and his absence could be a factor.
Seven more players who missed the previous games with injuries should remain sidelined - Honest Ahanor, Milan Badelj, Mario Balotelli, Ruslan Malinovsky, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, and Vitinha.
