Genoa to host FC Südtirol in Coppa Italia knockout match

FC Südtirol is set to face Serie A side Genoa in the Coppa Italia round of 32 at the Luigi Ferraris stadium. The match, scheduled for Tuesday at 18:00, is a single-leg knockout fixture. If the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes, the winner will be decided directly by a penalty shootout.

The stakes for the winner are high, as the victor will advance to the round of 16 to face Inter Milan at the San Siro.

Genoa, coached by Daniele De Rossi, has had a difficult start to the season, securing only one point from their first four matches against opponents such as Lazio, Como, and Napoli. FC Südtirol enters the match in strong form, remaining undefeated in Serie B. The club will also debut its new third kit, titled ‘Vinea’, inspired by the wine culture of the South Tyrol region.
