Genoa and Napoli have met on ten occasions since 2020. Napoli claimed six victories while Genoa secured just one win. Three of their last five encounters finished as draws.
Genoa team overview
Genoa come into Saturday's Serie A contest after a heartbreaking 3:2 defeat against Lazio last weekend. A controversial penalty from Danilo Cataldi - ten minutes into stoppage time - secured victory for I Biancocelesti.
Daniele De Rossi's men will fancy their chances of bouncing back to form this weekend. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three home matches and in five of their six most recent matches.
An improved offence has resulted in higher-scoring outcomes for the home side in the past couple of months. Seven of their last ten matches finished with both teams on the scoresheet, while a minimum of three goals were scored in three of their last four games
Head coach De Rossi has just two injury issues to deal with this weekend. Benjamin Siegrist is ruled out while Tommaso Baldanzi will be assessed ahead of kick-off.

Napoli team overview
Napoli return to Serie A action after a much-needed win against Fiorentina last weekend. Goals from Antonio Vergara and Miguel Gutiérrez secured a 2:1 win for Antonio Conte's side.
A poor run of form in recent weeks had seen Gli Azzurri fail to win six of seven previous matches across all competitions. Napoli now find themselves third in Serie A, nine points behind leaders Inter.
While usually defensively solid, Conte's side have struggled to keep clean sheets in 2026. Napoli conceded at least one goal in six of their last eight games, while three of their four most recent fixtures finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
We could see a high-scoring encounter in Genoa. Napoli have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last eight games, including each of their last three matches.
Head coach Conte has several absentees this weekend. Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Kevin De Bruyne, Matteo Politano, Frank Anguissa, Billy Gilmour and David Neres are ruled out, Amir Rrahmani, Vanja Milinković-Savić and Pasquale Mazzocchi are doubtful.

Prediction
Recent form and previous encounters suggest a strong possibility of both teams scoring on Saturday.
BTTS is my preferred pick at the Luigi Ferraris.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Genoa have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches
- Genoa have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 matches against Napoli
- Napoli have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches
