Genoa sees Tommaso Baldanzi return to the starting eleven for their Serie A clash against Domenico Berardi’s Sassuolo in the lunchtime fixture of Round 32. The match is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 CET (11:30 BST) at the Stadio Ferraris.
Genoa is dealing with injuries to Siegrist, Cornet, Norton-Cuffy, and Onana. Sassuolo, on the other hand, will be without Candè, Pieragnolo, Boloca, and Romagna.
Roma loanee Baldanzi makes his return to Genoa’s lineup after an injury layoff, while Vitinha and Colombo will spearhead the attack for the Grifone. Sassuolo’s coach Grosso has opted for Pinamonti as the lone striker, supported by Berardi and Laurienté on the wings.
Genoa currently occupies 14th place in the Serie A standings, holding a six-point advantage over the relegation zone. However, they are looking to bounce back after losing their last two league encounters. Sassuolo, meanwhile, has secured their safety in the league with 42 points and is undefeated in their previous two matches, with one win and one draw.
Three other Serie A matches are scheduled for today: Napoli will visit Parma at 15:00 CET, Bologna will host Lecce at 18:00 CET, and Como will play Inter at 20:45 CET.
