Team News

Ruslan Malinovskyi (ankle) and Maxwel Cornet (muscle) will require late fitness tests to see if they will be ready for Genoa on Monday night.

The Rossoblu remain without the trio of Honest Ahanor (knee), Milan Badelj (muscle) and Morten Thorsby (calf).

As for Venezia, injuries have been slightly kinder to the visitors ahead of their trip to Liguria.

Filip Stankovic (hamstring) and Richie Sagrado (muscle) are the only confirmed absentees in the squad, although Michael Svoboda will need to prove he's recovered from his knee issue in time for Monday's game.

Match Odds, Genoa vs Venezia

Genoa are the 9/10 favourites to claim all three points on home soil, while Venezia are 16/5 to leave with a rare away win.

A draw on Monday night is available at 12/5, while Genoa to be leading at both the half-time and full-time whistle is currently 2/1.

Genoa to win to nil @ 2/1

Genoa have managed to pull away from the bottom three thanks to two valuable home wins over Parma and Monza.

Winning 1-0 against Parma and 2-0 against Monza, Genoa are aiming to secure three consecutive Serie A wins at the Luigi Ferraris without conceding a goal for the first time since all the way back in 2010.

There’s every reason to suggest Genoa will be able to do that, as Monday’s opponents Venezia have struggled greatly on their travels this season, failing to win a single Serie A game on the road.

The Neroverdi, who have not tasted victory since a home win over Cagliari on December 22, failed to score on their last visit to Luigi Ferraris and this improving Genoa side look capable of winning to nil on Monday night to help them pull further clear of danger at the bottom end of the table.

Andrea Pinamonti anytime goalscorer @ 6/4

The standout goalscorer for Genoa this season, Andrea Pinamonti is worth considering at 6/4 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one.

Only Napoli’s Romelu Lukaku, Torino’s Che Adams and Atalanta’s Mateo Retegui have scored more match-winning goals in Serie A than Pinamonti this season. While there may be some tempted by the 4/1 on him being the last goalscorer, the 25-year-old still looks good value to add to his seven league goals scored already this term with an anytime strike on Monday.
