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.

Genoa had a negative goal differential after every game except for the last one. Not all clubs have finished, but Genoa cannot be passed. It is Genoa's best finish since 2015-2016. Bologna is going to the Champions League, and will finish fourth or fifth depending on Atalanta's last two games. Atalanta qualified for the Champions League by winning the Europa League.
Genoa got 2024-2025 off to a good start. Their first game was Genoa 2-2 Inter Milan. Their second game was Monza 0-1 Genoa.

Genoa 0-3 Juventus Genoa is 16th with 5 points from 6 games and a -6 goal differential. Every club has played six games except for two clubs who play tomorrow.
