VS
Sassuolo vs Genoa is an Italian matchup whose later balance has leaned towards Genoa, despite Sassuolo’s capacity for emphatic responses. Genoa recorded four consecutive 2–1 victories between December 2023 and April 2026, winning twice at each ground. Sassuolo’s 5–0 home success in July 2020 shows how different the contest can look when their attack takes control. A future meeting will test whether Genoa retain that edge or Sassuolo reset the pattern.

Stats for this game
Matchup Sassuolo VS Genoa
Genoa hold the stronger later direction
Genoa established a clear advantage across the later reference points, recording four successive 2–1 victories between December 2023 and April 2026. They won at the MAPEI Stadium in December 2023 and November 2025, and at the Luigi Ferraris in May 2024 and April 2026. The repeated scoreline and the ability to win at both venues give Genoa the firmer benchmark, even though the narrow margins show that control has rarely been absolute.
Sassuolo retain a forceful reply
Sassuolo’s 5–0 home victory on 29 July 2020 remains the clearest counterpoint, while further wins in January and May 2021 show that they can impose a different attacking pattern. Draws in October 2021 and January 2022 also demonstrate that Genoa’s advantage does not make every meeting one-sided. In a future contest, Genoa would seek to preserve the discipline that repeatedly turned close games in their favour; Sassuolo would need to convert possession and combinations into a more durable advantage. That contrast keeps the matchup competitive despite its later tilt.
