Genoa -Sampdoria 1 @2.60 Correct score:3:1 odds: 24.00 When a team wins the first derby, everyone expects the other team to take its revenge in the second leg. I doubt it for this derby at Marassi. Genoa won 6 out of their last 9 derbies: in the season 2008-2009 they won in December 2008 1-0 and they repeated this success in May 2009 by defeating Samp 3-1. In the season 2009-2010 a Genoa win was followed by Sampdorias revenge. In 2011 again, Genoa won both: 1-0 and 2-1. In the season 2011-2012 Sampdoria won the first 3-1 and they drew the second 1-1. Now, Genoa have defeated Sampdoria 3-0 in September. It was another Sampdoria (still trained by Delio Rossi) but it was also another Genoa as well, without Burdisso, Marchese, Konaté and Bertolacci. And above all, without coach Gasperini. I am impressed also by Perins performances. The young goalkeeper is improving day by day and I would pay an entrace ticket just to see him playing. With Gasperini Genoa are still undefeated at home: Genoa - Chievo 2-1 (Oct. 2013), Genoa - Parma 1-0 (Oct. 2013), Genoa - Verona 2-0 (Nov. 2013), Genoa - Torino 1-1 (Nov. 2013), Genoa - Atalanta 1-1 (Dec. 2013), Genoa - Sassuolo 2-0 (Jan. 2013), Genoa - Inter 1-0 (Jan. 19, 2013). It is still not sure that this “derby della Lanterna” will be played at the scheduled time and day, the match might be postponed to Monday In my old previews I have always written positive opinions about Mihajlovics work and above all about Gabbiadini. Even by keeping these opinions I can not avoid noticing that Genoa have become much stronger in these last months and when it comes to a derby, organized in this case by Genoa as Genoa will be the “home” team, their fans know perfectly how to support their players. I will not miss the match on TV and I suggest you to do the same.
