Genoa vs Inter Milan Prediction

Genoa are currently 19th in the league, six points behind 17th-placed Venezia who have a game in hand. Their current form is troubling, and they need to pick form quickly if they are to play in the Italian top-flight next season.

Inter Milan, on the other hand, are 2nd in the league, but have won only one of their last five league games. They are two points behind league leaders AC Milan, who have played a game more.

Inter Milan should beat Genoa.

Prediction: Genoa 1-2 Inter Milan
