̀! Salutiamo l’anno che se ne va e brindiamo insieme a quello che arriva, con il Grifone sempre nel cuore Che il nuovo anno ci regali emozioni, battaglie da veri genoani, gioie al Ferraris e orgoglio per questi colori che non si discutono: si amano. Alziamo i calici, stringiamoci ancora di più attorno al Genoa, perché il Genoa è una fede, non una semplice squadra. BUON ANNO A TUTTI I GENOANI!

Genoa is 15th with 19 points from 20 games, and they are 5 points above the relegation zone. Of those three opponents, AC Milan is second, Cagliari is 16th and behind Genoa on goal differential (meaning that winning 3-0 as opposed to 1-0 was helpful), and Pisa is tied for last with Verona. Both head-to-head games have not been played, and Pisa's goal differential is 1 better than Verona, but Flash Score has Pisa in last. Pisa played one more game than Verona, so Verona has more points per game. Verona hosts Bologna in two days on 15 January, and two games on 14 January and two games on 15 January will give 20 clubs 20 games. Genoa's next game is at 14th place Parma on Sunday 18 January. If Parma loses or draws at third place Napoli tomorrow, Genoa can pass Parma with a win, and that means that Parma will have less rest going into the game.
