Well, yes, let's be honest. It's not easy to put your stakes on a team that is just above the relegation zone but we have a couple of reasons for this shot.

Genoa did well in the last games, putting Atalanta under pressure for most of the game, giving them very few chances for creating danger, while also Genoa have created their own chances in the finishing phase. It was the 7th successive draw for Genoa! They failed to score in 7 out of the last 9 but they have no chance to do better and make a win finally as they welcome a team that lives in a comfort zone. Also, Genoa is doing usually well against Torino at the home field: Genoa hosted Torino 49 times and have won 24, drew 14, and lost 11. Recent h2h doesn't look so sweet. However, for me is very important to support from the coach to his players, as he was satisfied with the performance against Atalanta in Bergamo: "I am very proud of my team, of their performance because it is not easy to come to Bergamo and play this match."

Torino is winless in their last 7 games, where they lost 3 and drew 4 times. They failed to score more than 1 goal in this run! Torino did well in their last match against Inter, were leading until the final minutes of the match when Inter equalized the result. The late mistake cost them dear. Toro is traveling to Genoa without Sanabria, Praet, and Djidji while Zima, Milinkovc-Savic, and Aina are doubtful for this game. Toro was good in the first part of the season, but lately, they are finding a hard time motivating themselves for anything as they are far from the relegation zone and also not close enough to European places, so the middle of the table is what they have guaranteed. Surely, they will win once before the season ends in Italy 1, but probably not here as they have poor away results with only 2 wins in 13 away Serie A matches this season. A couple of players is one yellow card away from a ban so there might be some savings from that side as the focus is always higher on those matches at home.

It's a risky but valuable pick and the moment is never better for Genoa to improve further and make a step forward with the win. Toro is a decent team but in the poor moment with the team news and after all, this is an away match where Toro doesn't shine. Draw wouldn't surprise anyone but maybe it's time to finally see Genoa winning the match!

选择一支降级区的球队并不容易，但我们有几个原因要这么做。

热那亚在最近几场比赛中表现不错，亚特兰大在比赛的大部分时间都处于压力之下，给他们制造危险的机会很少，而热那亚也在终结阶段创造了自己的机会。这是热那亚连续第7次平局！他们在过去的 9 场比赛中有 7 场未能进球，但他们没有机会做得更好并最终取得胜利，因为他们迎战一支处在舒适区的球队。此外，热那亚在主场对阵都灵的比赛中表现通常不错：热那亚主场迎战都灵 49 次，24 胜 14 平 11 负。最近的交手看起来并不那么好。然而，对我来说，教练对他的球员的支持非常重要，因为他对在贝加莫对阵亚特兰大的表现感到满意：“我为我的球队和他们的表现感到非常自豪，因为来到贝加莫并不容易。”

都灵近7场不胜，3平4负。他们在这场比赛中未能得分超过1个进球！都灵在上一场对阵国米的比赛中表现出色，一直领先到比赛的最后几分钟，国米扳平比分。迟来的失误使他们付出了沉重的代价。都灵本场在缺少 Sanabria、Praet 和 Djidji 的情况下前往热那亚，而 Zima、Milinkovc-Savic 和 Aina 出战存疑。都灵在赛季前半段表现不错，但最近他们发现很难为任何事情激励自己，因为他们离降级区很远，也离欧战资格区不够近，所以他们在积分榜中游有保证。当然，他们会赢得一些比赛，但可能不会在这场，因为他们在本赛季意甲联赛的 13 场客场比赛中只赢了 2 场，客场成绩不佳。几名球员距离禁赛只有一张黄牌，所以可能会轮换一些球员，因为在主场的比赛更加重要。

这是一个冒险但有价值的选择，对于热那亚来说，这是进一步向胜利向前迈出一步的时机再好不过了。都灵是一支不错的球队，但在球队处于不佳的时刻，毕竟这是一场客场比赛。平局不会让任何人感到惊讶，但也许是时候最终看到热那亚赢得比赛了！
