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 42.1% of matches and find the net in 30.3%, 11.8pp apart. Genoa come 16th of 17 in the published Serie A field for the share of their first halves that produce a goal.
A goal arrives before halftime in 59.2% of Genoa’s Serie A matches. Set against the Serie A figure of 66.8%, that is a full 7.6pp adrift. Goalless first halves are the norm rather than the exception here, at 40.8%. Genoa guard the first half better than they attack it: 10th of 17 in the division for early goals conceded, 17th for scoring them.
Two goals before the break is unusually hard to come by, 25.0% of Genoa’s matches against 29.1% across the division. Three-goal first halves stay scarce, 5.3% of Genoa’s matches against 9.1% for the division as a whole.
Every figure on this page rests on 76 completed Genoa matches over 2 seasons (2024 to 2026). At that size a single percentage point is about one match, so read each rate as a range rather than a figure.

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.
