Bournemouth managed to achieve a place in the Europa League last season. Under the leadership of Andoni Iraola, the team took sixth place and was only three points behind Liverpool, who qualified for the Champions League. It was at Anfield that the Basque coach left, and German Marco Rose took over the cherries. Unsurprisingly, the team also played its first friendly matches against German teams. Bournemouth managed to defeat St. Pauli (4:1) and Augsburg (5:2).
Genoa managed to avoid relegation last season, but they failed to compete for something serious. The club from Genoa took the 16th place, seven points ahead of the relegated Cremonese. Mario Mitai, a former defender of Lokomotiv Moscow, recently joined the team from Al-Ittihad. The Genoese are still performing well in the pre-season matches. We managed to win over Trento (2:1) and Leicester (1:0), the match with Vicenza Virtus (2:2) ended in a draw.
Despite the change of coach, Bournemouth remains in great shape and ready to participate in European competitions. Marco Rosa is a great fit for the team in terms of playing style, besides notable players have joined the team: Antonio Silva and Alfaro Rodriguez. In recent friendly matches, we managed to beat fairly strong German clubs, and we will probably be able to beat Genoa, but the Italian team has not shown much success in recent years.
