Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Cagliari, 17th position with 28 points and a negative goal difference of -30
Genoa, 19th position with 22 points and a negative goal difference of -30
Genoa win the Serie A Week 34 game defeating Cagliari on Sunday 24 April 2022 at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa, Italy. The third consecutive victory of Salernitana in a week has revolutionized the low ranking, even Cagliari therefore cannot be considered calm. At the last breath after a very tense and complicated match, Genoa puts their heads out and gives themselves the three precious points with Badelj’s goal. Cagliari, which held up the whole match, even hitting a post with Joao Pedro, was defeated. Salvation race reopened.
Surely, a precious home victory of Genoa. There are only three points that separate the teams. Even Sampdoria remains entangled, finding themselves at 30 points and in the next round the derby of the Lanterna will be staged against Sampdoria, while Cagliari will host Hellas Verona.
Genoa opened the score in the 89th minute. It is Milan Badelj to defeat Cagliari goalkeeper Alessio Cragno with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Kelvin Yeboah.

Stats before the game: Genoa have won their last four games against Cagliari in Serie A, keeping a clean sheet on three occasions. Indeed, this is already a record streak for them against Cagliari in the top-flight and in general, Genoa have collected two of their last three Serie A wins (including one of only two in this campaign) against Cagliari. In the last six Serie A home games against Cagliari, Genoa have collected five wins and one draw: the last Sardinian success at Ferraris against Grifone dates back to April 19th 2014 (1-2 with goals from De Maio, Sau and Ibarbo). Despite suffering three defeats in the last three matchdays, Alexander Blessin is the Genoa manager who in this championship has maintained the highest points per game average (0.91 per match, with 10 points in 11 games): since he has been with the Grifone, as many as six Serie A teams have collected fewer points than the Ligurians. With the win against Sassuolo, Cagliari have reached 18 points in this second part of the Serie A season (W5 D3 L6): considering points won in 2022 only, they would be in 11th position (+9 points above the relegation zone).
👉 Lineup GENOA (4-2-3-1): Sirigu – Frendrup, Ostigard, Bani, Vasquez – Badelj, Sturaro – Amiri, Galdames, Portanova – Ekuban.
👉 Lineup CAGLIARI (3-5-2): Cragno; Altare, Ceppitelli, Carboni; Bellanova, Deiola, Grassi, Marin, Dalbert; Joao Pedro, Keita.
