Verona was better in a majority of statistics, but Genoa had more shots on goal 5 to 3, and more expected goals (xG). Flash Score gave man of the match to Genoa's Johan Vasquez. Flash Score says Genoa had 1 win in 23 games at Verona before today, Genoa has lost 1 of their last 8 away games, and Genoa lost 3 of the last 27 games in which Gudmundsson scored, but if that is only including his games for Genoa, it must include other competitions for him to have scored in 27 games. Genoa is 12th with 38 points from 31 games, and a -4 goal differential. They play Monday 15 April at 10th place Fiorentina. Verona could be relegated, as they are in a crowd of six clubs with 25 to 29 points, of which two will be relegated. Salernitana has 15 points and no realistic chance at survival.

Cagliari is fourteenth, and their goal differential of -23 is worse than three of the six clubs below them. Genoa will stay in Serie A because eighteenth place Udinese cannot get more than 41 points.
