Napoli vs Genoa Predictions

• Napoli have won five of their last eight Serie A games.
• Genoa, on the other hand, have won three of their last 33, though all of those victories came in their last seven.
• Napoli have only lost one of the teams’ last 19 head-to-head meetings, a run stretching back to January 2012.
• Genoa have only won one of their 18 away league games this term.

Genoa need another miracle to see off relegation threat

Having beaten Juventus through a remarkable late double last time out, Genoa need to show the same fighting spirit when they travel to Napoli on Sunday, knowing that a defeat could seal their relegation, depending on Salernitana’s result, and needing a result to have any realistic chance of overcoming the drop.

Alexander Blessin’s men have only won three of their last 33 Serie A games, but all of those victories have come within their last seven as they make a late bid for safety. However, Genoa have only won on the road once all season, at fellow strugglers Cagliari in early September, and have yet to find a solution to their goalscoring woes, recording just five goals in their last 10 outings.

Napoli, meanwhile, have all but secured third place but have little else to play for after their title bid went up in smoke in the Spring. Luciano Spalletti’s men have, however, won five of their last eight in Serie A, and have only lost one of their last seven home league games, against title-chasing Milan in March, so represent particularly tough opponents for the beleaguered visitors.

Hosts can show superiority to put Genoa on the brink

Despite the fact Napoli have very little to play for, a side with 34 goals scored and just 16 conceded in 18 home league games this season should certainly be fancied for victory over their struggling visitors, particularly given the decent price available for backers of Spalletti’s men on Sunday.

Napoli will be looking to mathematically secure third place and end their home season on a high, so are worth backing for a victory, while a 2-0 triumph over their goal-shy visitors looks a decent correct score prediction.
