Napoli vs Genoa Prediction & Match Preview

• Napoli won three and drew one of the last four home fixtures in the Serie A.
• Genoa travel to Naples off the back of a 1-4 home loss to Atalanta.
• We saw three or more goals in each of the last six H2H clashes between Napoli and Genoa.

Genoa ended their eight-game unbeaten thread by falling 1-4 to Atalanta last Sunday. Alberto Gilardino’s men will face a tough challenge in an attempt to rebound right away. They travel to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to take on defending champions Napoli on Saturday afternoon in Matchday No 25.

Genoa produced one of their weakest defensive showings in a while last weekend. They allowed nine shots on target in a tough defeat to Atalanta. I Rossoblu had previously conceded only two goals in four league matches. Can they keep things quiet at the back in Naples?

Napoli will also enter this on a low. They failed to threaten AC Milan in a 0-1 defeat at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. Napoli have just one win in the last four games across competitions. They fell to ninth place in the league standings. Sixth-placed Roma are three points away. Napoli can ill afford another slip-up if they want to stay in contention for European positions.

Recent Meetings

The outfits shared spoils in a 2-2 draw in the return game played in mid-September last year at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris.

Napoli have 12 wins, 9 draws, and only 3 defeats in the last 24 home affairs against Genoa.

Three or more goals were scored in each of the previous six H2H encounters between these rivals.

Napoli vs Genoa Prediction

Napoli managed three wins and a draw in the last four league games on the home patch. All three wins have come by an identical 2-1 scoreline. The good news for Walter Mazzarri is the return of his main attacking weapon Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker should feature on Saturday after losing the 2024 AFCON final six days ago. Genoa did not look great defensively last weekend against Atalanta. I Rossoblu also have a poor record in Naples. The home win is the only logical betting option here. You can back it at the 1.60 odds.

The value is great with the Over 2.5 goals FT pick at the 2.10 odds. We’ve seen three or more goals in each of the previous six head-to-head meetings between Napoli and Genoa. The run includes this season’s 2-2 stalemate at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris. Also, four of the past five games Napoli played at home produced at least three goals.
