This is a huge Derby Della Lanterna, because, after Genoa’s surge under Davide Ballardini, they are only four points behind rivals Sampdoria. Read our reasons for Genoa vs Sampdoria prediction and betting tips.
The tables have turned since the start of the season when the Grifone were rock bottom and sacked Rolando Maran in late December. Ballardini has lost only two games since then, one of them at the weekend against leaders Inter after he rested several stars to prepare for this derby. In his many different spells at the club, he’s never lost a Derby Della Lanterna. Ballardini explained his surprising decisions as Genoa lost 3-0 to Inter. The Grifone had only lost one Serie A game since Ballardini took over from Rolando Maran in late December, but the result was never in doubt at San Siro this afternoon. “We played our game in the first half and created a dangerous situation, but after the break, we weren’t as organized and didn’t put the right pressure on the ball. We could’ve done much better in the second half,” the coach told the media. “I said beforehand that Inter were the best team in Serie A and I maintain that. They are also the favorites because they have no other commitments, so they can focus all their players on a single competition, something the other sides cannot afford to do right now.”
Genoa rotated their squad against Inter with seven changes from the side that drew with Hellas Verona because the Derby Della Lanterna with Sampdoria is coming up midweek. “We evaluated fitness levels, players who were on yellow cards, and others who struggle when having three games per week, so we did make our decisions today with an eye on the derby and the match next weekend too. There’s no guarantee it’s the right thing to do, but there was a thought process behind these decisions. Having said that, I still feel this Genoa could’ve picked up a result here, as we were in good shape.”
Genoa (3-5-2): Perin; Masiello, Radovanovic, Criscito; Zappacosta, Zajc, Badelj, Strootman, Czyborra; Destro, Shomurodov
Suspended: None
Injured: Biraschi, Pellegrini
Samp saw their impressive form slide lately, with three defeats in the last five and a disappointing draw against Benevento. Claudio Ranieri claims Atalanta deserved to beat Sampdoria and explained why he benched Keita Baldé: ‘I didn’t like him against Lazio.’ Sampdoria suffered a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Sampdoria in the lunch-time match on Sunday. “We played well in the first half. Their first goal was not due to our mistake, but a great play by Atalanta’s champions. We played our game, trying to do well and press high up the pitch,” Ranieri told media. “In the first half, we managed it. Not quite in the second half and that’s when Atalanta’s quality emerged. When you don’t press them, they blow you away. The result is fair.’’
Keita Balde started on the bench and entered the pitch after 60 minutes to replace Valerio Verre. “Keita didn’t seem in shape against Lazio. Therefore, he was benched today. I didn’t like him against Lazio. La Gumina played in his place. He is one of our strikers. He runs into open spaces, he sacrifices for the team, once I replaced him, we suffered more.” Sampdoria faces Genoa in the derby Della Lanterna on Wednesday. “It’s a significant game for our fans. Both Genoa and us are hovering above the relegation zone. We earned 27 points in the first part and my target is to do the same in the second part of the season, let’s see how close we get.”
Sampdoria (4-4-2): Audero; Bereszynski, Yoshida, Colley, Augello; Jankto, Silva, Ekdal, Damsgaard; Quagliarella, Keita Balde
Suspended: None

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.
