Verona and Genoa face off on Sunday night at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi in Serie A.
Verona is looking to avoid the relegation zoneThe home team is currently in 15th place in the table, two points clear of the relegation zone.
Marco Baroni’s team has been inconsistent of late in Serie A. However, they have won just two of their previous ten outings in the Italian top-flight.
A 1-1 draw at Cagliari last time out was another low-scoring encounter, as four of their previous five matches in Serie A have produced under 2.5 goals.
Verona had mounted a four-game unbeaten run on home soil in the Italian top-flight before a 3-1 home defeat against Milan in their last league outing at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.
Their recent home games in Serie A have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight matches on home soil in the Italian top flight.
Genoa looking to end their winless runLast time out, Genoa drew 1-1 at home with Frosinone, meaning that they are now winless in four games in the Italian top-flight, having recorded back-to-back draws.
The mixed recent run of form in Serie A has left them in 12th place in the table, ten points clear of the relegation zone.
Genoa have enjoyed mixed results on their travels of late in Serie A. They are winless in four away games in the Italian top-flight. However, the visitors have lost just once in their last seven league games on their travels.
Their recent away games in Serie A have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league matches away from home.
What am I backing?This is likely to be a cagey and even affair. It seems unlikely to be a goal-fest, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
