Genoa vs Napoli Preview

Genoa

Genoa’s form has been very average this season, with 3 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses in 16 outings. However, they have been unbeaten in their last five matches, with 4 draws and a win.

The Grifone have struggled in front of goal and scored just 13 times, which is an underwhelming return for a side looking for a mid-table berth. Coupled with the concession of a significant 24 goals, they find themselves closer to the drop zone.

Free football predictions on 22Bet show that Genoa will look to retain their current trajectory when they host title contenders Napoli on Saturday. The team have kept clean sheets in their last three matches.

Napoli

Napoli’s level has dropped in recent matches compared to their early-season form. Antonio Conte’s side has won three times, drawn once, and lost once in their latest five Serie A outings. 

The team’s five-point drop in this run has seen them fall from the top of the table to second, two points behind new leaders Atalanta. They’re now only a point ahead of third-placed Inter Milan.

Napoli are the least productive goal scorers in the top six in Serie A. They’ve scored 24 times in 16 outings. This is 16 goals short of the top scorers, Inter Milan with 40 and 15 less than leaders Atalanta with 39. On the flip side, they’ve conceded the joint lowest number of goals in Serie A with 11 alongside Fiorentina.

Our football bet predictions show that Antonio Conte will look to get his side in form for back-to-back wins in Serie A. They are bidding to keep pace with Atalanta at the top of the table.

Genoa vs Napoli Prediction

  • Pick: Napoli To Win
  • Odds: 1.68 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Genoa 0-1 Napoli

Napoli’s tactical structure frequently uses a 4-3-3 formation, which gives them dominance in midfield when they’re out of possession. Conte’s signature solidity has been apparent for Napoli this season, as they’ve made a good start to their fight for the Scudetto.

Away from home, with 5 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss, Napoli’s form has been excellent, and they’ll look to retain this edge when they face lowly Genoa on Saturday.

The injuries to Ruslan Malinovskyi, Honest Ahanor, Caleb Ekuban, Jeff Ekhator, and Junior Messias will hamper Napoli. These losses will significantly disrupt team selection and the strength of the first 11.

Antonio Conte will also be without Michael Folorunsho, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Pasquale Mazzocchi, and Alessandro Buongiorno, who are doubts. Kvaratskhelia and Buongiorno will especially be big misses for Napoli.

Our football predictions analysis shows that Gli Azzurri will have the edge to take a close win and carry the three points on offer.

Genoa vs Napoli Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Romelu Lukaku To Score A Goal At Any Time – Yes
  • Odds: 2.5 (22Bet)

Lukaku has been in fine form since moving from Chelsea to Napoli in the summer. The Belgian has scored six times and provided four assists in 14 appearances in Serie A. This brings his goal involvement for Gli Azzurri to 10, which is a good return for the striker.

Lukaku has been the ideal striker for Antonio Conte in his revolution of the Napoli playing style. The former Manchester United striker provides the physical presence and ability to play with his back to goal, bringing others into play and being the focal point of the attack.

His relative pace allows him to run into passes in behind, stretching the defence to allow other attackers and deep midfield runners to latch on chances.

Our expert soccer predictions show Napoli’s Lukaku is increasingly a significant attacking threat. He’ll continue his fine vein of form in Genoa on Saturday and is backed to grab a goal at any time in this clash.
