Genoa (Home)
- Daniele De Rossi’s approach to managing Genoa has been pragmatic and conservative since he took over in November 2025.
- He has a talented group of players that are happy to sit back and defend in a 3-5-2 system or with a back five, looking to counter attack when the opportunity arises.
- De Rossi’s tactical discipline has made the team very difficult to break down, especially in their last two home matches which they have won.
- Lorenzo Colombo, who has five Serie A goals from 23 appearances, is Genoa’s main attacking outlet.
Napoli (Away)
- Antonio Conte’s side have played some of their best soccer since he returned to the club in June 2024, switching between 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 formations and always looking to press.
- Antonio Vergara has become Conte’s most reliable forward recently, with Vergara having scored two of Napoli’s last five Serie A goals.
- Rasmus Hoejlund is still Napoli’s leading Serie A goal scorer this season with six from 19 appearances and is always a threat to score.
- His team has conceded only 12 goals in 12 away Serie A fixtures this term, which shows how well-organised they are defensively.
Head-to-Head
Napoli have won two and drawn one of their last three Serie A matches against Genoa.
Key Players
- Lorenzo Colombo, Genoa’s main attacking outlet with five Serie A goals from 23 appearances.
- Antonio Vergara, Conte’s recent reliable forward who has scored two of Napoli’s last five Serie A goals.
- Rasmus Hoejlund, Napoli’s top scorer this season with six from 19 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Napoli are the clear favorites at 1.95 to beat Genoa on Saturday afternoon with the hosts available at 4.3 to win and the draw at 3.1.
- Conte’s men have won six of their 12 away fixtures in Serie A, while Genoa have won only three of 12 at their home ground.
- Therefore, it is worth taking the Under 2.5 goals bet at 1.53 here as both teams have kept it tight recently and Genoa have scored only 12 goals in 12 home games in Serie A this season.
Prediction
- Although Napoli are favourites, the oddsmakers have them priced 1.95 against a Genoa side that has shown some fight recently.
- De Rossi’s men have won their last two at home, so it is possible that they can hold out against a Napoli side that appears to be running on fumes.
