GENOA – CITTADELLA | Sunday 3pm
Esonero sure, with Andreazzoli ready to take his place. Then the reverse, in spite of (with the coach taking the Ternana bench) and the fans’ protest who didn’t send him a message. The week of Blessin, Genoa’s coach, after last week’s defeat against the last in the class, Perugia, was certainly eventful. But for the time being, the coach has remained at his post and knows full well that he is gambling his chances of continuing his work against Cittadella. There is no question that a victory is needed, and a good one at that, the kind that reconciles: a narrow one-nil might not even be enough. Genoa probably decided not to change because the distances from those in front have practically not increased: yes, Reggina and Frosinone drew but it could have been worse given that they were ahead and given that they were playing at home. In short, the peremptory jolt was perhaps not needed.
At Liguria on Sunday comes a Cittadella side that has won only once in their last five matches and drew at home against Cosenza in the last round. The Venetian team is not doing so well either, to tell the truth, and seems the perfect opponent for the Rossoblù, who want to get back on track. On paper there should be no match.

The Prediction
Only one outcome available to Blessin: victory. It will become clear from this challenge whether the team is still with the coach. In any case, the hosts should manage to win. And do so with a large result, too.
