In the Coppa Italia, Genoa host Sudtirol in a clash that pits the home side’s prolific scoring against the visitors’ solid away numbers. Both teams have shown the ability to find the net regularly in recent league play.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Over 2.5 goals Strong lean Strong · High probability

The model assigns a 94.5% probability to more than two and a half goals, making the over the clear favorite.

Show the maths
The model adds the two teams’ expected goals – 4.0 for Genoa and 3.0 for Sudtirol – to get a combined 7.0 xG. That translates into a 94.5% chance that the total goals will exceed 2.5. The high individual scoring rates and the frequent appearance of three‑goal scorelines in the top predictions further reinforce the over‑2.5 outlook.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes 90.9% model probability

With Genoa averaging 4.0 expected goals and Sudtirol averaging 3.0, the model gives a 90.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 9.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Genoa 4.0, Sudtirol 3.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 90.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 9.1% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals 94.5% model probability

Combined expected goals of 7.0 (Genoa 4.0 + Sudtirol 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 94.5% chance against 5.5% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Genoa 4.0 + Sudtirol 3.0 = 7.0 combined): 94.5% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 5.5% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Genoa at 55.2%, the draw at 14.4%, and Sudtirol at 27.9% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 3-2 at 4.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
