Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Cagliari, 16th position with 24 points and a negative goal difference of -15
Genoa, 12th position with 31 points and a negative goal difference of -10

Cagliari and Genoa ended the Serie A Week 28 with a draw on Friday, March 7, 2025, at the Unipol Domus in Cagliari, Italy.  A result that favors Genoa, who now sits at 32 points. Cagliari, on the other hand, has 26 points, tying with Verona and establishing a 4-point gap from the relegation zone. Nicolas Viola scored first for the home team in the first half, but Cornet brought the guests level early in the second half. The game remained tightly contested, with both teams unable to find a winning goal.

Genoa comes to Sardinia in a more secure position, sitting nine points clear of the relegation zone. A win today could be vital for their survival hopes. On the other hand, Cagliari, with only one point from their last three outings, is looking to bounce back and pull away from the relegation danger that looms just three points behind.

The match …

Cagliari opened the scoring in the 18th minute when Nicolas Viola found the back of the net with a left-footed strike into the bottom right corner. The setup came from Roberto Piccoli. The Sardinians quickly got back into action, with Piccoli maneuvering the ball in the attacking third before passing it to Viola, who expertly controlled it and finished with a well-placed left-footed shot that caught Leali off guard.

Genoa found the equalizer just after halftime in the 47th minute. Maxwel Cornet scored with a precise left-footed shot aimed at the center of the goal. The setup came from Caleb Ekuban, who cleverly intercepted the ball from Luperto and delivered a well-placed pass into the box. Cornet made a swift move to the far post and calmly slotted it into the net, leaving goalkeeper Elia Caprile with no chance to respond.

Stats before the game

Cagliari and Genoa are set to face off for the 50th time in Serie A.  The current record showing 17 wins for Cagliari, 19 for Genoa, and 13 draws. Following their 2-2 draw in the first leg, it’s possible that both matches this season could end in draws. Hence, marking a first since the three-point win system was established. Historically, these teams have only recorded two instances of consecutive draws in Serie A: a series from May 1991 to April 1992 and another in the 1993/94 season.

Cagliari have lost both of their last two league matches.  They have yet to record three defeats in a row in the tournament since the start of 2025. Overall, in the current Serie A, since the start of the new calendar year the Sardinians have earned almost half a point more on average per game (+0.44) than they did in 2024: 1.22 points per game since the start of January, compared to 0.78 in the first 18 matchdays.

Patrick Vieira made his debut as Genoa coach in Serie A in the 13th round of this championship against Cagliari and, since then, Genoa has won 68% of its total points in the current tournament (21/31): in percentage terms, only Roma (70% – 30/43) has obtained more points than the Grifone in this phase of the championship.  With 21 points in 15 league games at the helm of Genoa, Patrick Vieira is the Grifone coach with the best points average in the era of three points for a win in Serie A: 1.40 per game.
