Genoa vs Verona | Serie A Preview & Betting Tips | 29 Nov 2025
Genoa and Verona are locked together near the drop zone and this feels like a genuine must-not-lose. The Marassi will be bouncing with the home ultras in full voice and a decent away following from Verona – expect a red-hot atmosphere and plenty of nerves.
Genoa usually line up in a gritty 3-5-2 that sits deep and looks to hit on the break. Verona go 3-4-2-1 and try to stay compact while springing forward quickly when they win it back.
Both teams are scrapping for their lives – Genoa average just 48% possession and rely on second balls and set pieces, while Verona sit even deeper on 42% and look to frustrate. Cards could flow (combined 5 yellows per game) and dead-ball situations will be massive – Genoa concede 0.3 set-piece goals per match.
Genoa over the last ten: two wins, three draws, five defeats – 12 scored, 15 conceded, two clean sheets. They’ve been tough to beat at times but lack a cutting edge.
Verona: three wins, three draws, four defeats – 7 scored, 12 conceded, four clean sheets. Slightly better defensively and nicking the odd result.
Genoa at home (last 10): 30% win rate, averaging 1.4 scored and 1.6 conceded – the crowd helps but they’re vulnerable.
Verona away (last 10): only 10% wins, averaging 0.8 scored and 1.5 conceded – proper struggles on the road.
