Genoa to face Ascoli in Coppa Italia Round of 64

Genoa is set to host Ascoli at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris for a Round of 64 Coppa Italia match. The fixture marks the first competitive appearance for Genoa since the conclusion of the 2025-26 Serie A season.

Genoa, led by head coach Daniele De Rossi, enters the match following a challenging previous campaign where they finished 16th in Serie A. The team has shown mixed form during pre-season friendlies, including a significant 10-1 loss to Bournemouth.

Ascoli arrives at the match after progressing through the preliminary round with a 3-1 victory over Potenza. Having secured promotion to the second tier following a playoff win over Union Brescia, Francesco Tomei’s side seeks to build momentum despite recent losses in pre-season friendlies against Frosinone and Lazio.
