Stats for this game
Matchup Cagliari VS Genoa
Cagliari’s home results set one side of the profile
Cagliari have produced several authoritative performances against Genoa at home. They won 3–0 on 8 January 2012, 2–1 in January 2013, 2–1 in December 2013 and 4–1 on 15 January 2017. A 1–0 victory on 26 December 2018 and 3–1 on 20 September 2019 continued that home influence. These results give Cagliari a strong venue reference without making the contest one-sided every time. Genoa won 3–0 at home on 12 January 2026, adding a decisive counterpoint to the open draws.
Genoa keep finding a response
Genoa have repeatedly prevented the fixture from settling into a single pattern. They won 1–0 at Cagliari on 14 November 2010, 3–2 in October 2017 and 1–0 on 22 May 2021, while a 1–1 draw arrived in November 2014. The clubs shared 0–0 in Serie B on 1 March 2023, 1–1 on 7 March 2025 and 3–3 on 22 November 2025. The mix of narrow wins and high-scoring draws leaves venue and game state central. A future meeting will test who turns that volatility into a clear edge.
