A tough trip to Padova is looming ahead for Genova. Both Genova and Padova were defeated in the last round, respectively against Santa Croce and Pineto, and will try their best to bounce back.

“I was glad to do well when Del Federico decided to line me up – said Mercorio happy with his performance despite the 3-0 loss against Santa Croce – I feel in good shape right now. Me and my teammates are training real hard. And we have a great challenge ahead with Padova, another team with big ambitions”.
