Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Both teams come into this game in not the best form, but it is Genoa that are in slightly better nick.

Venezia on the other hand have failed to win a match in their last seven matches, something that might haunt them this Monday.

Genoa Preview

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Predicted Line-Up: Nicola Leli; Aarón Martín, Johan Vásquez, Mattia Bani, Koni De Winter; Stefano Sabelli; Fabio Miretti, Patrizio Masini, Morten Frendrup; Vitinha, Andrea Pinamonti, Mario Balotelli

Genoa, like their opponents, have also had average start to the season, finding themselves just outside the top half of the table. After 24 games they sit in 12th place with six wins, nine losses and nine draws. Those matches have left them with 27 points, just a single point behind 11th placed Torino and a whopping 11 points ahead of the their opponents Venezia in the standings. Stepping up this season for Il Grifone has been striker Andrea Pinamonti. The Sassuolo loanee has provided eight goal contributions, split into seven goals and an assist. He will likely be the difference maker this Monday as he has put out some exciting displays this season, including three match winning goals, all should be a great help to Genoa.

Venezia Preview

Formation: 3-5-2

Predicted Line-Up: Andrei Radu; Fali Candé, Jay Idzes, Alessandro Marcandalli; Alessio Zerbin, Gianluca Busio, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Kike Pérez, Mikael Egill Ellertsson; Daniel Fila, John Yeboah

Venezia have had a poor start to the season, finding themselves likely to go back down to Serie B after a year’s stint in the topflight. After 24 games they sit in 19th place with three wins, 14 losses and seven draws. Those matches have left them with 16 points, four points behind 18th placed Parma but three points clear of last placed AC Monza. In the goals for I Leoni Alati has been young talent and Juventus loanee, Hans Nicolussi Cavigila. He is relishing in his time away from his parent club, recording six goal involvements so far this season. They can be split into four goals and two assists. That makes him the top scorer at the club this campaign since the departure of centre forward Joel Pohjanpalo in the January transfer window. The responsibility of being the difference maker for Venezia will fall on his shoulders but it is a task that he could shine in this Monday.
