Genoa vs Napoli: Match Prediction
Genoa failed to set a new club-record unbeaten run in the current league campaign in the previous round, even though the team came close. Even so, Genoa caused Lazio’s back line plenty of problems. Daniele De Rossi’s side have generally looked sharp going forward: the club have scored in 6 of their last 7 Serie A matches, finding the net against two teams from the European places as well. However, the hosts have lacked reliability at the back. Genoa have kept just four clean sheets this season, and only Fiorentina have a worse figure (3).
Napoli rarely leave the pitch without scoring. The Matchday 22 game against Juventus was only the sixth time this season they failed to find the net. But Juventus also boast one of the best defences in the Serie A. Against the next opponent, it should be much easier. Even so, Napoli should also keep an eye on their own goal. In the last six league matches, Antonio Conte’s side have recorded clean sheets only against Sassuolo and Parma, with Parma among the two lowest-scoring teams.
It is also worth adding that both teams have scored in the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides in the Serie A. That is another factor supporting the Both teams to score – yes prediction.
Prediction: Both teams to score – yes
