The club from Genoa had a poor start last season, but Vieira, who joined during the campaign, eventually lifted his new team to thirteenth place with 43 points. However, he was dismissed this autumn due to a dreadful start in the new championship. That change helped again: under De Rossi, the team began to win, and often. They also overcame Udinese in the last round. In the cup against Atalanta, however, they lost without resistance, 0-4.
The Milan giant under Inzaghi won quite a bit, including the “Scudetto” in 2024. But in the spring, they gave it away to Napoli in the final stages, simultaneously losing the cup semifinal derby to Milan, and finally suffered a 0-5 defeat to PSG in the Champions League.
After that, Kivu became the head coach, and overall, he is doing well. However, they are losing to top opponents—such as Atletico in the Champions League and Napoli and Milan in the domestic league. They also lost scandalously 0-1 to Liverpool. But before that, they confidently beat Como in Serie A, and in the cup against Venezia, they even secured a resounding 5-1 win.
Ellertsson and his teammates score an average of 1.07 goals per match, conceding 1.5 in return. Their strong opponents still have impressive stats: 2.29 goals scored on average per game and 0.93 conceded.
