Crossroads of exes on the Ferraris lawn. Pereiro with the rossoblù of Genoa is a former Cagliari player. Lapadula, Pavoletti and Piccoli with the rossoblù of Cagliari are former Genoa players. Without forgetting the double Nicola, first player and then manager of Old Fool.
Direct clash number 37 between Serie A and the second division. Griffin ahead of Casteddu for victories, 20-5, and scores, 65-36, to which we must also add 11 X marks.
The Ligurians opened an OK series lasting 9 matches and started with the 2-0 in 2014-2015 (Niang in the 52nd minute and Iago Falque in the 58th minute). The Sardinians’ last victory dates back to 2013-2014, 1-2 (De Maio in the 3rd minute, Sau in the 37th minute, Ibarbo in the 82nd minute).
Among the various Genoa-Cagliari games we want to remember the one from 1991-1992, because it arrived precisely on the occasion of November 24th. It ended with a 2-2: Skuhravy in the 31st minute, Francescoli in the 45th minute, Fonseca in the 59th minute, Caricola in the 72nd minute.
The ranking on the eve of the match.
Home Rossoblù with 10 points (2W – 4X – 6P with 9Gf and 22GS), 4 made at Ferraris (0W – 4X – 3P with 6GF and 12GS), where they haven’t won since last May 24th, 2-0 over Bologna. The rossoblù also find themselves at 10 points away from home (2W – 4X – 6P with 12GF and 22GS), of which 4 were won away from home (1W – 1X – 3P with 5GF and 8GS).
Curiously, if the matches lasted only forty-five minutes, the first and two teams would still be tied in the 2024-2024 Serie A standings, both with 9 points. In short, upon returning to the field after the break, both the Ligurians and the Sardinians improved their situation in the rankings by one point…
