Genoa vs Brescia preview - Caracciolo: We must cure travel sickness
Posted Sunday, April 17, 2011 by PA
Relegation-threatened Brescia will look to end their dismal away run when they travel to the Luigi Ferraris stadium to face Genoa.
The Rondinelle have not won on the road since beating Chievo 1-0 on September 19.
Giuseppe Iachini's men go into tomorrow's encounter on the back of a 1-1 draw at Cagliari.
That result left Brescia 19th in the standings, two places and two points from safety with six games remaining.
"We need to start getting results away from Brescia if we are to defend our Serie A status," said striker Andrea Caracciolo.
"The team is growing and there is no reason why we cannot bring back home three points from Genoa.
"There are still six games left to play and we are all very focused on the task in hand."
Genoa have lost twice at home this year and will be desperate to bounce back from their 3-2 defeat at Juventus last time out.
That result followed a 1-0 setback to Cagliari and left the Grifoni 12th in the standings.
Genoa have collected 39 points in 32 games and know that victory on Sunday would be enough to ensure them Serie A football next season.
Coach Davide Ballardini is confident his side will returning to winning ways tomorrow.
"We showed a vast improvement against Juventus with respect to our defeat against Cagliari," said Ballardini.
"We saw the real Genoa in Turin and I know that if we play as we did against Juve, we will have no problems against Brescia."
The visitors will be without Brazilian striker Eder, who serves a one-match ban.
