Best Bet for Friday – Cagliari vs Genoa
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports Journalist at BettingTips4You
Bosnia-Herzegovina to win to nil | |
5/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Bosnia’s recent win in Romania showed signs of renewed structure and confidence. With Džeko up front and Cyprus historically poor away from home, backing the hosts to claim victory without conceding is the sensible play. Cyprus rarely trouble higher-ranked sides on their travels, and Bosnia will look to tighten defensively.
| |
Rationale:
Key Stats:
- Genoa have claimed 68% of their Serie A points under Patrick Vieira.
- Cagliari have won just 2 of their 13 away league games this season.
- Morten Frendrup has made more tackles (87) than any other player in Serie A this season.
Rationale
Cagliari enter this contest under pressure, having lost consecutive matches and sitting just three points above the relegation zone. Their form at home has historically been stronger, with 14 of their 17 victories against Genoa coming on Sardinian soil. However, Davide Nicola’s men have struggled for consistency, winning just two of their 13 away games this season.
Meanwhile, Genoa have shown resilience under Patrick Vieira, accumulating 21 points in 15 matches since his appointment. Their defensive stability has been key, with several clean sheets helping them move away from danger. The visitors held Empoli to a draw last time out, with Johan Vasquez netting an equaliser, and they have become a difficult side to break down.
With Cagliari missing key forward Zito Luvumbo and Genoa benefiting from the return of experienced midfielders Milan Badelj and Ruslan Malinovskyi, the visitors look well-equipped to grind out a result. Given their superior defensive record and Cagliari’s attacking limitations, backing Genoa to win by a narrow margin appears the best bet.
