In search of their first win of the 2025/26 Serie A season, Genoa could face a stern test against their recent nemesis Napoli, who are among the early pacesetters as they bid to retain the Scudetto.
Match News and Current Form
A Rasmus Højlund double inspired Napoli to a 2-1 win over Sporting CP on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League to continue their trend of decisive results this season in all competitions (W5, L2). One of those defeats was a 2-1 league loss at AC Milan last weekend and the Partenopei will look to bring their European momentum home and avoid losing consecutive league games for the first time since December 2023. Playing in Naples could work to their advantage as Antonio Conte’s men have won seven of their last eight home league games (D1).
Genoa lost 3-0 to Lazio last round for their third defeat across their last four league games (D1). This is their joint-lowest points tally (two) after five rounds in this competition since 1994/95, although the previous occasion in 2017/18 saw them finish in a comfortable 12th place. They’ll need to improve very quickly to come close to replicating that finish after they started this round in the relegation zone, and hitting the road could perhaps be a blessing in disguise for Patrick Vieira’s side, who avoided defeat in three of their last four league trips (W1, D2), a sequence that started with a 2-2 draw here last season.
Head-to-Head History
Genoa won just one of their last 24 Serie A H2Hs (D8, L15) and are winless in their last 15 away top-flight games against Napoli (D6, L9). Only against Verona (20) do the Partenopei have a longer unbeaten home run among current Serie A clubs.
