Genoa's edge in this matchup lies in their more consistent performances and their ability to manage games effectively, as reflected in their recent results and league standing. A key factor to watch will be Genoa's ability to capitalize on their slightly superior goal-scoring opportunities, while Verona will aim to leverage their defensive improvements to secure a positive result.
