Each of Genoa’s last three home matches against Cagliari in Serie A ended with a 1-0 Ligurian success: the last opponent against which this team kept a clean sheet in multiple home games in a row in the competition was Novara , six between 1949 and 2011.

Cagliari have won only one of their 16 away games in this championship and in general have scored just eight points away from home in the current tournament, better only than Salernitana (seven) and Frosinone (six); the last top championship in which the Sardinians recorded less than two successes in the first 17 away matches was 2013/14 (one also on that occasion).

Considering the matches between the teams currently in the last nine positions in the standings, Genoa is the one that has obtained the most points, 25; on the other hand, Cagliari has found five of its seven successes in this championship against these opponents.

Genoa and Cagliari are two of the three teams, together with Hellas Verona, who have scored fewer goals during the first half hour of play in this Serie A – all with six goals.

The last midfielder who scored more goals as a substitute in a Serie A season was Leonardo, in 1998 /99 (six).
