Pep Guardiola’s team did not perform well in the first part of the season. The Citizens scored 29 points in 15 matches and are fifth in the standings, being four points behind the leading Liverpool and Manchester United. But there is also a positive dynamic: now Manchester City are on a series of three victories in a row in the championship. In total, Guardiola’s wards have won eight wins, drew five times and lost twice. Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko has played only two matches this season in the Premier League, mostly not even included in the squad. And his four UEFA Champions League games are hardly worth taking seriously, as Manchester City won their group with ease. In the last round, he started for the first time of the season and played 90 minutes against Chelsea (3:1). Let’s hope that Zinchenko will also get playing time in the upcoming match.
But Genoa still has big problems both in the Championship and in the Italian Cup. The team is in the relegation zone from the very start of the season, but there is nothing wrong with that. The team has been living near the bottom of TOP-3 for two seasons in a row. Last time the club was in the middle, when Krzysztof Pentek was still in the squad. Back then the footballer spent only half of the season at the club and immediately moved to Milan, while Genoa immediately dropped to the relegation zone. So such a location is quite familiar to the team. But it is important to note that lately the team has begun to gain points quite often. In four matches it has won twice with La Spezia and Bologna and that are quite good results, as for an outsider. More winning soccer predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
