Genoa and Monza take on each other at 8:45 p.m. at the ‘Ferraris’ in the postponement of the 22nd day of Serie A.

The Brianzoli, coming off a 2-1 home win against Fiorentina, then succumbed 3-1 to Bologna, collecting their 12th loss of the season.
Vieira is banking on a consolidated lineup: Badelj leads the midfield, Pinamonti reference in attack with Vitinha and Zanoli in support.
Bocchetti bets on a mix of experience and freshness: Turati between the posts, Izzo leader of the defense, Sensi director in the middle and the Maldini-Caprari pair to lead the attack with quality and unpredictability.
