Genoa have been in dreadful form since the turn of the year, they have won just once in 15 games in 2017 across all competitions, drawing 3 and losing the other 11. Their weekend 4-0 mauling at the hands of Juventus means that Genoa are just 6 points clear of the drop zone with 5 games to play and given Crotone’s recent upturn in form, Genoa are in real danger of being sucked into the last ditch battle for Serie A survival.
Chievo’s recent form has been just as poor, Rolando Maran’s side have lost 5 on the bounce, conceding a whopping 15 goals in the process. If you look a little further back you will see that Chievo have won just twice in 9 games. Despite their wretched recent performances, Chievo sit comfortably in midtable – a 12th place finish in Serie A would represent a good season for the Gialloblu.
Genoa and Chievo played out a boring 0-0 draw when the sides last met before Christmas, a result a fitting representation of two teams who have struggled to find the net with any regularity this season. Read our Genoa vs Chievo betting tips and our expertly selected bookmaker odds below.
Genoa’s form in 2017 cannot be ignored and although they are odds-on with bookmakers to beat Chievo, I think the bookies might have it wrong on this occasion. Genoa haven’t won at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris since the middle of December, in fact, Chievo have won more games away from home (5) than Genoa have at home (4). For that reason, I think Chievo can take a point on Saturday.
William Hill’s odds for a draw at 11/4 look decent as a standalone outright bet, while their odds of 19/20 for there to be under 2.5 goals is also an offer worth taking up.
