Napoli vs Genoa Prediction: Who will turn out to be stronger?

Prediction for the Serie A match which will take place on February 17. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

In the previous round, the team met Milan away and played another poor match. Napoli conceded already in the middle of the first half and in the end never got back, only twice hitting the opponent's goalposts and creating only 0.63 expected goals. This game once again confirmed that Napoli are not among the leaders of the Italian league today.

The Champions League play-offs seem to be the only opportunity for the Neapolitans to save the season. In Serie A, the Southerners are currently only ninth in the standings.

Genoa played at home against Atalanta last weekend. The team has not once stopped the grands at their stadium and, it seemed, can count on success and in this fight. However, the team lost without much chance of success. Genoa conceded on 22 minutes, got back on track at the start of the second half through Ruslan Malinovskyi's efforts, but immediately got a goal back. And before the end of the game two more goals flew into the Griffins' gates - 1:4.

Despite the defeat, Genoa maintained a comfortable position in the league. Genoa are only four points behind Napoli and ten points ahead of the relegation zone.

Genoa this season performs better at home than away - so the first round meeting with Napoli ended in a 2:2 draw. But Napoli also have poor home statistics, and the team will soon face a Champions League match. So we will not look for a favourite in the upcoming match, but we will bet on goals, or rather - their absence. Napoli currently have a lot of attacking problems, while Genoa is one of the lowest scoring teams this season.
