Genoa vs Sudtirol Prediction 15 September 2026
📢 Can Genoa give their fans something to cheer about in the Round of 32 of the Coppa Italia? The start of the season has been a poor one for the Genoese, and they have shown nothing so far to inspire much optimism. In the upcoming match they host Südtirol at the Luigi Ferraris, though they should not underestimate their opponents. Yes, the visitors are a Serie B side, but they have yet to lose a match since the new season began.
Head-to-Head
📊 The two sides have met just twice in official competition throughout their history. Both matches took place in the 2022/23 season, when the two clubs were in Serie B. Genoa won 2-0 at home, while the away fixture at Südtirol ended goalless.
Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Sudtirol
Genoa Team Overview
Genoa's supporters are finding it hard to look at the table. After four Serie A rounds, the club have picked up just one point, and that only came last weekend. Even then, it was hardly cause for celebration: at home, they failed to beat Serie A newcomers Frosinone, drawing 1-1. What's more, they had to come from behind during the match, and statistically Frosinone looked the better side at times - despite Genoa also having a penalty.
In the previous round of the Coppa Italia, the Grifoni beat Ascoli 4-1 without too many problems. However, the level of opposition was considerably lower - Ascoli had only just come up from Serie C. Against stronger opponents, Genoa could face serious difficulties as early as the Round of 64.
Match Results: Genoa
Sudtirol Team Overview
Südtirol have considerably more reason for optimism. They have played five official matches without a defeat so far - three wins and two draws. Yes, they compete a division lower, but for their level the results look very respectable. Last weekend Südtirol came close to beating Modena, only to concede late on and settle for a draw (1-1).
In the Round of 64 of the Coppa Italia, they got past a solid opponent in Catanzaro. It was far from straightforward: in normal time Südtirol had to rescue themselves late on (2-2), and the penalty shootout began with a miss. Even so, the team held their nerve and won 4-3.
Match Results: Sudtirol
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Genoa have had real trouble in attack at the start of the season: the only match in which they managed to score more than one goal was the cup tie against Ascoli. It is worth noting that their problems in front of goal stretch back to the end of last season - in 9 of their last 10 matches, the club have scored a maximum of one goal. On that basis, Genoa Team Total - Under 1.5 at odds of 2.00* looks an interesting option.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Although Genoa score rarely and tend to trail opponents across most attacking metrics, they do win corners consistently. In the league, they average 5 corners per match. Against a Serie B side, the pressure on the opposition goal should be greater, so our pick is Genoa Team Total Corners - Over 4.5.
* Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
The bookmakers make Genoa clear favourites, but given recent results it is hard to agree with that assessment. Total Goals - Under 2.5 looks the best betting option. Südtirol will almost certainly sit deep and look to close down space as much as possible. And in general, matches involving the visitors tend not to produce many goals: all four of their Serie B fixtures have ended with no more than two goals scored. The expected score is 0-1.
