Quick answer

Who takes penalties for Genoa?

Ruslan Malinovskiy is our current Genoa penalty taker call, with Junior Messias next in line if the order changes or the first choice is not on the pitch.

Serie A penalty orders move quickly around transfers, coaching changes and form. We keep the backup line visible because the second name is often the value edge when the regular taker is off the pitch.

This page is built as a live Il Margine club file, not a one-name list. If the first-choice taker is injured, suspended, substituted or not starting, the second and third names become the useful part of the hierarchy.

Penalty order is one input in goalscorer pricing. When Serie A fixtures are live, compare the hierarchy with the Goalscorer Fair Odds Lab.

We update the order only when the evidence changes: penalties taken or missed, lineup context, injuries, suspensions, transfers, coaching comments, or strong league-specific signals.
