Stats for this game

Matchup Genoa VS Venezia

Different divisions, familiar tension

Genoa beat Venezia 1–0 at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on 16 January 2023 in Serie B. The official Venezia account described a match in which the visitors kept trying to equalise, but Genoa held the narrow advantage. On 21 September 2024, the teams met in Serie A at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, where Venezia won 2–0 through second-half goals by Gianluca Busio and Joel Pohjanpalo. The scorelines show how the same pairing can move from a one-goal second-tier contest to a more emphatic home response at the top level.

Venue and level shape the balance

Genoa bring the broader traditional profile, but Venezia’s home win demonstrates that reputation does not settle the contest. Genoa’s challenge is to make possession and experience count before the opponent settles; Venezia’s is to use its home setting and turn resistance into chances. The evidence supports a matchup with shifting pressure rather than a single permanent script. A future meeting will be compelling if Genoa reassert control at Ferraris or if Venezia again use the Penzo to make the status difference disappear.
