Previous and anecdotes. The Carboni brothers are opponents of today’s match in Marassi.

Today is one to Marassi This is the 41st confrontation between Scald e Genoa With an essentially balanced overall record: 12 victories at 10 for the Grifone, as well as 18 draws. Five of the last six games have ended with draws, including the most recent on March 2, when a flagrant error of Silvestri at the last minute cost a victory in Azzurri. Naturally, in Genoa, the balance leans more towards the Ligurians, with seven victories to the three of Azzurri, the last of which dates back to April 27, 2008, when Abate led the team and then trained by Luigi Cagni.

Today’s match is also the seventh Italian cupWhere Empoli led by 3 victories at 2 and qualified for the last two occasions: 2-0 in the fourth round of 2014-15, thanks to the goals of Laxalt and Mchedlidze, and the two victories 1-0 between the match of the first stage (Iacoponi) and the second leg (Pozzi) in the round 16 of the 2006-’07 tournament.

As for the former players, three appear in the Azzurri team: Lovato, Pellegri (still sidelined) and Bianchi. And two appear in the Genoa team: Colombo and Sabelli. Finally, a special match will be played at the Carboni Home Ground, with the two brothers Valentin (Genoa) and Franco (Empoli), who could compete for the first time, although none begins.
