It’s a game to win to avoid falling in the relegation zone. There are 17 precedents between Genoa vs Palermo at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium. Stats showing Genoa with 8 wins and 9 draws. Palermo have never won at the Ferraris…. will this be the first time? Out of the 46 goals, Genoa scoring 32 goals while Palermo scoring 14 goals.
A challenge for Palermo new coach Fabio Viviani making his debut with the team at the Ferraris.
It’s Genoa to open the score in the 3rd minute! It’s forward Suso defeating Palermo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by forward Diego Perotti.
Palermo in deep trouble failing to react. Genoa increasing the score in the 71st minute with forward Leonardo Pavoletti defeating goalkeeper Sorrentino with a headed shot in the top right corner. The assist is by midfielder Cristian Ansaldi.
Four minutes later, and by now Palermo already succumbing. Genoa scoring the third goal of the match. In the 75th minute, midfielder Tomás Rincón scoring with a left footed shot in the top right corner. The assist is by Cristian Ansaldi.
Say no more… game over for Palermo is just chaos. Genoa scoring a poker! In the 88th minute, Pavoletti punishing one more time Palermo with a right footed shot in the top left corner. Certainly, a great match for Ansaldi providing again the assist for the goal.
