Prediction and Betting View

Best bet: Napoli to win & Over 2.5 goals. Napoli have been strong at home, scoring freely with Rasmus Højlund leading the line. Genoa’s defense has struggled, conceding multiple goals in several recent matches.

Score prediction: Napoli 3-1 Genoa. Napoli’s attacking options should be too much for Genoa’s back line, although the visitors could find a consolation goal on the counterattack.

What’s at Stake

Napoli need three points to keep pressure on Serie A leaders after their early setback against AC Milan. This match also gives Conte a chance to rotate and test squad depth before the international break.

For Genoa, any point on the road would be vital. Vieira’s young team needs a disciplined performance to hold Napoli’s attack, but the challenge looks steep given their current defensive record.

Bottom line: Napoli are heavy favorites to win at home. Expect goals, with the hosts likely to control the game and push for a statement victory.
