Genoa in the classification have four points less and, with Crotone's victory over Parma in the advance, they are now last together with Torino. The good matches versus Juventus and Milan were threw away by the bad defeat of Benevento, where Perin and his teammates lost 2:0 and almost never became dangerous in front of the opponent's goalie.It was the last chance for manager Maran, who in fact was relieved of his post after a few hours. The club has chosen to recall Ballardini for the fourth time, who has been entrusted with the difficult task of getting back to scoring points as soon as possible and avoiding relegation, as had already happened in previous experiences.This manager could return to the 3-5-2 to make up a more solid structure for Genoa, taking in consideration many absentees in the house.
