Genoa

Genoa carry the distinction of being Italy's oldest active football club, founded in 1893, and that heritage shapes a identity rooted in tradition and passionate local support. Based in the port city of Genoa, the Rossoblù hold a place in Italian football history as nine-time national champions, though those titles belong to the sport's earliest decades. In the modern era the club has settled into the role of a competitive mid-table Serie A side, often navigating the gap between top-flight survival and ambitions of finishing comfortably in the middle of the standings.

The current campaign has been a story of two halves. Across 10 Serie A matches, Genoa sit on a record of four wins, one draw and five defeats, with 10 goals scored and 14 conceded for a goal difference of minus four. The form line of LLLDLWLWWW is the most revealing detail: a difficult opening stretch featuring four defeats in the first five matches gave way to a resurgence, with Genoa winning three of their last four. That turnaround under D. De Rossi suggests a side that has found some stability after an uncertain start.

The numbers also point to clear patterns in how Genoa perform. Home form has been the foundation, with three wins, one draw and two losses from six matches at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, while the away record of one win from four outings shows room for improvement on the road. Defensively, two clean sheets and 14 goals conceded indicate a side that has been vulnerable at times, while the attack has been modest, scoring 10 goals and failing to find the net in three matches. Genoa's recent run suggests they are grinding out results rather than overwhelming opponents, and sustaining that efficiency will be key to climbing the table.
