Verona will look to move further away from the relegation zone when they host mid-table Genoa this weekend. The Serie A matchday 31 fixture will be played at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday, with the hosts 15th with 27 points and the visitors 12th with 35 points. Verona start this round only two points above the bottom three, so the threat of relegation is still hovering around. Memories of last season are still fresh, when they needed a tie-break victory to secure top-flight status. They are in good form, though, after a 1-1 draw with Cagliari made it seven points from the last four league games. Goals haven’t been forthcoming, though, with their tally of 27 goals among the lowest in the division. Despite such shortcomings, the hosts are proving to be a tough team to beat at this venue. They lost only two of their last nine home league matches, and another point here could be crucial for their season.

Genoa are comfortably sitting in the mid-table with a ten-point lead over the relegation zone. They could have challenged for a place in the top half of the table, but recent form has pulled them down. Genoa are winless across their last four league games, drawing and losing two each. Although both defeats have come by a single-goal margin, the visitors aren’t showing enough hunger to chalk out victories. That has been a problem away from home too, where they couldn’t win any of their last four away league games. That said, three of those were draws, and with two coming against top clubs Napoli and Juventus, Genoa have shown the ability to pose difficult questions.
