Serie A preview: Many people in Turin have returned to the field after recovering from injuries, and it is hard to win a league match in Genoa
6686 Sports News on October 26 In the 8th round of Serie A, Turin will sit at the home team to face the challenge of Genoa.
In the seventh round of Serie A on October 19, Turin defeated Naples 1-0 at home. Simeone scored in the game, allowing the old club Naples to suffer its second league defeat of the season. In the game, Uruguayan goalkeeper Iser made 5 saves to keep the city clean. After Turin invited Baroni to coach this season, the speed and efficiency of defensive counterattacks were significantly higher. Defenders Koko and Maripan, who had been mediocre before, both performed well.
Before the game, Baroni said: "The team must harness the enthusiasm of the fans, but we cannot mess up the game. The boys know this, they are ready and they are constantly developing: it will be a difficult game, but we cannot make mistakes. Our schedule is indeed difficult, but we don't think it will be easy now. There is no room for mistakes in the current game, and we cannot leave any regrets."
Currently in the Serie A standings, Turin currently ranks 14th in the league with 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. The team's goal this season is still to fight for relegation. At the same time, the team has also caused a lot of trouble to strong teams recently. Lazio, Fiorentina, and Naples have all failed to defeat Turin smoothly. However, in the three home team games in the league this season, Turin only scored 1 goal with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. The offensive performance was not ideal, and the team's first goal at home was scored against Naples in the last round of the game.
In terms of lineup, Turin midfielder Pedersen and forward Abouhlal have both recovered from injuries and returned to the game. Pedersen has the opportunity to start in this game. In addition, attacker Anjorin has recovered from plantar fasciitis injury, but goalkeeper Iser was injured in the game against Naples and did not participate in practice for a week.
Genoa's home team tied with Parma 0-0 in the last round of the league. The team's offensive suppression firepower was very sufficient in the game. They scored 7 shots on goal with 23 shots in the game. However, the team's efforts were in vain because forward Corne missed a penalty of 12 yards at the last moment. During the game, Parma's offensive end could not even test Genoa's goalkeeper Lealli, but the competitive state of several Genoa forwards was not ideal, allowing Suzuki Ayen to play a classic.
Before the game, Genoa coach Vieira said: "The team has the right energy. We created opportunities, but we must convert them into goals. We lack the last step. If we want to take a step forward, we must actively complete the attack. Cornet's penalty loss of 12 yards did have some impact, but his energy and desire to return to the game are commendable. We must improve some awareness. We will definitely score and win the game."
Currently in the Serie A standings, Genoa currently has 3 draws and 4 losses without a win. After 7 rounds of games, it only scored 3 goals, and its offensive firepower is very low. In the three away games in the league this season, Genoa only scored 1 point against Como. However, Genoa will then usher in a relatively sweet schedule. The team's opponents in the last two rounds are promoted Macramona and Sassuolo.
In terms of lineup, Genoa midfielder Stanciu and defender Makandali are still injured and absent. However, midfielder Carboni's recovery is not very good, and Vieira is still worried about his physical condition.
In the previous 20 meetings between the two teams, Turin had the advantage with 9 wins, 7 draws and 4 losses. In this game, Turin will strive to continue its winning streak at home. Can Genoa overcome the difficulties and win its first league win this season?
