The battle to break out from the relegation zone in the Serie A continues at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Wednesday night as Genoa host Benevento. Read our reasons for Genoa vs Benevento prediction and betting tips.
Genoa coach Davide Ballardini explained what revitalized Mattia Destro and assures they will get results with ‘performances like this’ after a 2-1 defeat to Milan. Destro’s free header had canceled out an Ante Rebic half-volley, but the game was decided at San Siro by a corner bouncing off Gianluca Scamacca from six yards. Only a double goal-line clearance on Andrea Masiello and Valon Behrami prevented Genoa from equalizing late on. “We are all disappointed, but also know that we had a good game. If you put in performances like this, the results will come,” Ballardini told the media. “It had been a long time since Genoa had played with such generosity, determination, and quality. There is a disappointment to emerge empty-handed, but we must transform that anger into more confidence going forward, knowing we can play like this against one of the top teams.”
Ballardini was asked about the focus on the 3-5-2 formation and struggle to adapt to opponents. “We have 10 defenders, six or seven of them are center-backs. We had no full-backs today, the only one available in a four-man defense was Ghiglione, and Cassata played on the left. Teams are built based on the characteristics of the players in the squad, so you need to make the most of out their strengths. This was a team created to play with two strikers and a three-man defense.”
Destro was on target again today and this is by far his most prolific season for many years. “It’s all his credit because he trains very well, he cares about the team, he looks after himself off the field and on it. You can see he is always involved in the game and has a natural talent that is difficult to find, that killer instinct in front of goal. He puts in the effort and knows how to find the net. Genoa is fortunate enough to have a large squad, with 28-29 players, but everyone feels involved and puts in the effort. Even if they don’t play, they still work hard and feel like they are participating.”
Genoa: Perin; Goldaniga, Radovanovic, Masiello; Biraschi, Zajc, Badelj, Strootman, Cassata; Destro, Scamacca
Pippo Inzaghi was glad Benevento went out fighting in their 5-3 thriller with Lazio and feels they ‘might’ve done enough to deserve a point.’ Although at one stage Lazio was 4-1 up, it was a surprisingly tight battle to the last kick of the game. “If you go to Lazio, have 16 shots, and score three goals, it means you had a great game. I knew we’d concede if we sat back, so the best option was to come here and attack them,” Inzaghi told the media. “I thought we might’ve done enough to deserve a point, to be honest, but luck wasn’t on our side. I still believe this was the right approach.”
Benevento’s next match is a trip to fellow strugglers Genoa, neither of them entirely safe from the drop yet. “Having so many head-to-head clashes can give you a great chance of safety. Serie A means suffering, but seeing Benevento play with this determination at the Olimpico and feeling so much regret at losing to Lazio must give us a real confidence booster going into the midweek round.” Le Streghe has shown a tendency to start games timidly and take a while to gain confidence. “We conceded a goal early that was avoidable, then the penalty was a blow, but against players of this quality who run at you, there’s bound to be goals. I knew that if we attacked, then we could score goals too. If they hadn’t disallowed that goal and we’d got it back to 4-3 earlier, I think we might’ve gone on to draw. We fought to the end, we believed, we had our fate in our hands and that’s the mentality I want to see.”
Benevento: Montipo; Depaoli, Glik, Barba, Letizia; Ionita, Viola, Improta; Insigne, Sau; Lapadula

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
