Genoa and Cagliari are battling for Serie A survival, so points in this match are especially important. Genoa enters this match as the nominal favorite, unbeaten for two matches and scoring regularly, but their defensive problems remain.
Cagliari certainly won't give up points without a fight, especially since Genoa has lost half of its home matches. Cagliari has four points in its last two Serie A away matches, scoring regularly even against top-tier opponents. So it's entirely possible that a goal-scoring game will happen today, but bookmakers are offering high odds even for a two-goal total.
