Analysis and prediction of the match 1/32 final of the Italian Cup “Genoa” – “Reggiana” (08/09/2024)
The Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be played on 9 August, with hosts Genoa and Reggiana taking on each other at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium in Genoa. Kick-off will be at 21:45 Moscow time.
Genoa had a failed first half of last season, but the second was beneficial for Alberto Gilardino. His players started to show pragmatic football that gave them excellent results. They have only lost 5 of their last 23 matches in the Italian championship.

The Griffins took points away from Inter, Juventus, Milan and several other top teams. They finished the season in 11th place in the championship standings. In the new season, the Genoa club can achieve even greater successes. They dedicated the summer to retaining outstanding players and improving teamwork among them.
Genoa did well. They kept almost all of their core players, in particular Ruslan Malinovsky. Last season, the midfielder made 30 appearances for the Griffins, scoring four goals and providing two assists.
Gilardino said that the Ukrainian midfielder is irreplaceable and can play a decisive role in Genoa. He stressed that thanks to his characteristics and tactical flexibility, Malinovsky can bring great benefits to the team.
Reggiana is not rich in this class of footballers. It is the typical middle class of Serie B, which has very limited reserves. In its entire history, the team has only participated in Serie A seven times. Its last appearance in the championship dates back to the 1996/1997 season.

However, Reggiana performed well in the last Coppa Italia. They beat Pescara (6-2), Monza (2-1) and forced a 1-1 match against Genoa (0-1). In addition, in Genoa there were also “griffins” and “square heads”.
This suggests that Reggiana is preparing in a special way for the Coppa Italia. For its players, this tournament is an opportunity to prove their worth and receive an invitation to a stronger club. The motivation is decent, but will it be enough to avoid losing to Genoa?
For the Griffiths, the Coppa Italia is no less important than for Reggiana. After winning the head-to-head duel in the last tournament, Lazio was a serious test away from home (0-1). You can bet on Genoa to win and the total to be under 3.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 2.20.
Gilardino is committed to ensuring that his team does not lose. The formula for their success lies in a reliable defence. In the system, Malinovsky has to play further away from the opponent’s goal, which significantly affects both his performance and that of the team.

At the end of last season, the Griffins scored 45 goals and conceded the same number, but most of them came in the (failed) first half of the season. What does the number of goals scored matter to the Genoa team if Gilardino’s strategy helps them succeed in tournaments? There is a result and this is the most important thing.
Prediction and betting tips for the Italian Cup match Genoa – Reggiana on August 9, 2024
Genoa have found their football. The well-structured defensive team play of Gilardino’s men is giving excellent results. Reggiana has far fewer resources than the Griffins. They are capable of imposing themselves on the fight, as they did last season, but defeat is inevitable.
Tender: Genoa wins and the total is under 3.5 goals at 2.20.
