The statistics from past matches outline a context that is decisive in its own way: against Genoa the best version of the Giallorossi attack is needed to take three points
ROME GENOA ATTACK NUMBERS – We have reached the halfway point, the penultimate corner before the final straight: Rome-Genoa it’s “the last dance” for De Rossi’s boys, a last attempt to cling to the idea of returning Champions League from the back door. For this reason, in the cradle of Romanism (an Olimpico that is preparing for yet another roar), a top class version of attack will be needed to pierce the orderly defense of Gilardino and pack the three points. Looking at the precedents against the “griffin”, the Giallorossi’s offensive department can count on interesting statistics.
The player who allows us to have the most room for maneuver is obviously Paulo Dybala: the Argentine has collected 11 goals and 3 assists in 16 games against Genoa, most of them wearing the Juventus shirt (including the dazzling hat-trick in August 2017). By average goals compared to appearances, Lukaku command with 6 goals and 2 assists in 5 appearances against the rossoblù, even if he is looking for his first joy in the Giallorossi in the match in question. Similar discussion for Abraham And Azmoun: both dry against Gilardino’s band, with the Briton having 3 chances to make an impact, while the Iranian only got 12 minutes on the pitch in the first leg. In short, whether from the first minute or during the match, the impact of the strikers will be needed to regain victory in the championship.
