The Derby della Lanterna ends with a 1-1 draw. Genoa failing to win the Serie A Week 25 game against Sampdoria on Wednesday 3 March 2021 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova, Italy. One point for each and sharing the bragging rights to rule in Genoa.
- Stats before the game. Genoa have achieved a success and a draw in the last two derbies against Sampdoria in Serie A and could remain unbeaten for three Genoese derby in a row for the first time since November 2009 (three successes in that case).
After the 1-1 draw in the first leg, Genoa and Sampdoria could draw both seasonal matches of a single Serie A championship for the first time since 1993/94 (1-1 both first leg and return). Genoa’s last success as a host team against Sampdoria in Serie A dates back to May 2011 (2-1 thanks to Mauro Boselli’s 97th goal): since then two draws and six Sampdoria successes. Genoa are unbeaten in six league home games (3W, 3N), the best home streak for the Ligurians since December 2016, when they avoided defeat in all the first eight home games of Ivan Juric management.
