Genoa vs Virtus Entella Today’s Football Prediction
A Serie A team, Genoa, faces a Serie C, the Virtus Entella.
In the previous round Genoa, with Ballardini coach, beat Lecce 4-0 with Piatek’s first four Italian goals. The Virtus Entella has instead passed home first Siena and then the Salernitana, Serie B team, from which it was relegated last year after the playoff lost against Ascoli.
Virtus Entella coached by Boscaglia is third in Serie C, but has played only nine games so far due to the chaos of the missed repechage in Serie B. The performance so far has been very positive, even if after the six consecutive initial victories arrived a defeat and two draws in the last three days.
The Genoa since Preziosi has decided to exonerate Ballardini and recall Juric has not won even one game out of seven, and the president expects a response in the field after all these negative results. In this period, Genoa has undoubtedly had a difficult schedule, but against a Serie C team there would be no more excuses.
