Napoli – Genoa

Monday night football in the Serie A, with Napoli and Genoa squaring off in a clash with great implications for the european places.

Napoli went trough some tough moments at the end of November / start of December, but this year the hosts are in great form, playing some of their best football of the season. In the last 6 matches Napoli won 3 times, lost once and made 2 draws that ended up in winning the SuperCup and qualifying in Coppa Italia. Last time out it was a 2-2 home draw against Udinese and a win at penalties, not the greatest performance but the focus looked to be on the Serie A, as Napoli did not try to hard in that match – at least for the first 60 minutes.

Genoa is sitting on a respectable 7th place in the Serie A, but unfortunately for the visitors their form is nothing to brag about – 3 losses and 2 draws in the last five matches and some horrible defense from Genoa. The Genovese side allowed no less than 10 goals in the last 4 matches, including a 3-3 draw with Sassuolo over the weekend. On the bright side Genoa can at least score goals, netting 7 times in the last 4 outings.

Lineups:

Napoli: Rafael – Albiol, Strinic, Koulibaly – De Guzman , Maggio, Gargano, David Lopez – Higuain, Mertens, Jose Callejon

Genoa: Perin – Burdisso, Roncaglia, Antonelli – Izzo, Rincon, Fetfatzidis, Bertolacci, Sturaro – Iago Falque, Lestienne

Napoli will field a very offensive lineup here, probably with the likes of Higuain, Mertens and Callejon leading the line, so expect some attack oriented football to be played. The hosts have been very effective in front of goal lately and looking at Genoa’s horrible defense you have to fancy Napoli to get a fair number of clear cut goal scoring opportunities. On the other hand Genoa are in great goalscoring form themselves and they will have their opportunities to counterattack, so surely the under / over market must be the way to go here. My tip is over 2,5 goals to be scored. Prediction: Napoli – Genoa 3-1.
