The team from Genoa avoided relegation after replacing Gilardino with Vieira as head coach. When Patrick had a poor start to the new campaign, he was also replaced, this time by De Rossi. Initially, this helped, but December brought very strong opponents—Inter, Atalanta, and Roma—against whom they lost. Against modest Pisa, they finished 1-1.
Pulisic and his teammates score an average of 1.65 goals per game, conceding almost half as much—0.76. The visitors, with an average of one goal scored per game, concede 1.56 on average.
