Genoa and Spezia with a direct duel to break the “33 Club.”   Genoa win the Serie A Week 33 game defeating Spezia on Saturday 24 April 2021 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genova, Italy.   Genoa gaining the 3 points dreaming with salvation reaching 36 points.

Genoa opening the score in the 61st minute. It is Gianluca Scamacca to defeat Spezia goalkeeper Provedel from very close range with a right footed shot to the center.

Spezia in despair conceding another goal in the 86th minute. It is Eldor Shomurodov to score with a right footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Kevin Strootman.

  • Stats before the game:  Genoa have won 5 of the 8 Serie A, Serie B and Coppa Italia matches against Spezia, losing only once (1-2 in 2006 in Serie B).   In all eight matches between Serie A, Serie B and Coppa Italia, both Genoa and Spezia have always found the net (3.9 goals per match per match).  Genoa have achieved 5 successes in the 7 most recent Serie A matches against newly promoted formations (1N, 1P).  Spezia have lost all of their last 5 Serie A away games, after avoiding defeat in seven of the top 11 in the competition (4W, 3N).  Although Genoa are unbeaten in 10 home games in a row in Serie A (3W, 7N), they have drawn all their last five: in their history, they have never impacted more home games in a row in the competition.   No coach counts more matches than Genoa coach Davide Ballardini in the Ligurian derbies in Serie A without ever losing: for him three wins and three draws in six previous matches (six matches without defeat also for Marco Giampaolo).
