In a crucial relegation battle, Genoa secured a 1-0 victory over Venezia at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Mikael Ellertsson, who was playing for his former club, broke the deadlock with a stunning solo goal. The Grifone, who had previously won 2-1 against Fiorentina and lost 2-0 at Roma, appeared to be turning a corner. However, Kingsley Ehizibue, Djibril Sow, and Lorenzo Venturino were absent, while Lorenzo Colombo and Amorim were not at their best.
Mario Mitaj made his Serie A debut during this match. Davide Nicola started on the bench for Genoa and helped them secure their first points of the season with a 1-0 win over Napoli. Several Venezia players, including Thierry Correia, Andrea Adorante, Marin Sverko, and Bartol Franjic, were still recovering from injuries.
