What Genoa’s first halves look like
Early scoring in Genoa’s matches tends to happen at the wrong end. They let one in before the break in 44.7% of matches and find the net in 30.8%, 13.9pp apart. Genoa guard the first half better than they attack it: 13th of 25 in the division for early goals conceded, 22nd for scoring them.
A goal arrives before halftime in 61.6% of Genoa’s Serie A matches. Set against the Serie A figure of 69.9%, that is a full 8.3pp adrift. A goalless first half remains common all the same, at 38.4%. Genoa come 23rd of 25 in the published Serie A field for the share of their first halves that produce a goal.
The record here is thinner than most of the division's: 159 matches against a typical 191. Two goals before the break is unusually hard to come by, 26.4% of Genoa’s matches against 32.1% across the division.
Every figure on this page rests on 159 completed Genoa matches over 5 seasons (2021 to 2026). That is enough to separate a clear tendency from noise, and not enough to split it much further by venue or opponent.

How to read these numbers
- These are historical rates over pooled seasons, not a forecast. A club that has changed manager, division or squad reads as the average of every version of itself on record.
- The opponent matters as much as the club. A high-scoring side against a defense that rarely concedes early is a different fixture from the same side against one that does.
For the model’s estimate of an actual upcoming fixture rather than this club’s history, see first half goals predictions and how the model works.
