The teams are experiencing contrasting fortunes: Genoa sit at the bottom of the table, while Cremonese impress with their consistency, just two points shy of the top six.

Head-to-head statistics Genoa - Cremonese
Genoa Team Overview
🔴 Genoa are struggling to resemble their last season's form. The team has been weak defensively, making numerous errors and conceding in almost every match, leading to a severe lack of positive results. After eight rounds, the "Grifoni" sit at the bottom of the table with just 3 points, appearing as the prime candidate for an imminent managerial change. Talks about Patrick Vieira's potential dismissal are becoming more frequent, and the outcome of the upcoming match could very well be decisive for his future.
🔵 In the last round, Genoa suffered a defeat away to Torino (1-2). The team started the match on the right foot, taking the lead in the 7th minute and controlling the game for a while. However, they failed to hold onto their advantage as the defense faltered once again, conceding a decisive goal in the 90th minute, which clearly affected the morale of both the players and the coaching staff.

Cremonese Team Overview
⚪ Cremonese, who have made their return to Serie A from the second tier, are off to a surprisingly strong start this season. They've suffered just one defeat in eight rounds, and that was away against title contenders Inter (1-4). Currently, the "Gray-Reds" sit 11th in the table, just two points shy of the top six, a remarkable achievement for a newly promoted side.
🔴 In their last outing, Cremonese held Atalanta to a 1-1 draw, a team consistently competing in the Champions League in recent years. The term "held" might not even do them justice: the hosts played boldly and posted nearly identical xG figures (1.23 vs. 1.90), creating more clear-cut chances (3 vs. 1). Yes, they had less possession (35% vs. 65%) and took fewer shots (9 vs. 20), but they played pragmatically and efficiently, rightfully earning a point.

Latest news
Genoa
📣 After the match against Torino (1-2), head coach Patrick Vieira openly admitted that the team let the game slip away: "We prepared well, but once again we're not converting our chances and making mistakes at the back - that's how games are lost. Right now, the small details are going against us. Twenty minutes of great pressure mean nothing if there's no goal." Despite this, Vieira is striving to maintain confidence within the squad: "The team keeps the right spirit. Through unity, we'll get through this tough period."
🚫 Genoa face no injury concerns ahead of the round: all key players are available to the coaching staff, allowing them to prepare with their strongest lineup.
Cremonese
📣 Head coach Davide Nicola expressed satisfaction with his team's commitment in the 1-1 draw against Atalanta: "We played a great match, despite the setbacks in midfield." Reflecting on Jamie Vardy's performance, Nicola offered a stern yet supportive remark: "You can't fault champions-let them do their thing." Summarizing the match, Nicola emphasized: "We deserved more, but perhaps this makes up for those games where we took more than we should have."
🚫 Cremonese continue to face several personnel issues. Alberto Grassi will miss the upcoming matches due to illness but is expected to return by early November. Giuseppe Pezzella is recovering from a concussion and remains doubtful. Michele Collocolo and Faris Moumbagna are also sidelined with muscular injuries and might miss another round. The most significant loss is Antonio Sanabria, who suffered a calf injury; his return is anticipated by mid-November.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Genoa are facing serious issues across the pitch this season, with instability in defense and a lackluster attack. Over eight rounds, the "Griffins" have managed to score just 4 goals, with only Parma faring worse with 3. Their attack lacks creativity, and their finishing leaves much to be desired. Notably, Genoa have scored less than 1.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 matches. Given this context, expecting a scoring outburst from them seems unlikely.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Cremonese remain one of the most passive teams in the league when it comes to offensive activity and earning set pieces. After eight rounds, they sit at the bottom of Serie A for corners taken, averaging just 2.8 per match. This statistic accurately reflects their cautious style, as they rarely create pressure on opponents' goals, especially away from home. It's no surprise that Cremonese have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 away games, and this trend is likely to continue.
Editorial Prediction
According to the bookmakers, Genoa are considered favorites for the upcoming match, but we disagree with this assessment. Since early August, the team has secured only two victories, both in the Coppa Italia against lower-division opponents. In the league, the "Grifone" continue to struggle: weak defensive performances and a lack of attacking efficiency have rightfully placed them at the bottom of the table. Yes, they face a Serie A newcomer, but Cremonese currently look far more confident: they play with organization, adapt well to their opponents, and consistently earn points. Therefore, our bet is on Cremonese not to lose. We wouldn't be surprised if the visitors win with a score of 1-0.
