The Partenopei begin their post-Antonio Conte life against Genoa tonight.
Genoa are set to host Napoli in an exciting Italian Serie A 2026-27 Matchday 1 fixture at Stadio Ferraris on Saturday, August 22, 2026. After the departure of Antonio Conte, the visitors will begin their league campaign under Massimiliano Allegri, who will seek to clinch all three points on the road.
The Partenopei had a mixed domestic campaign last season. They finished 11 points behind champions Inter Milan, relinquishing their Scudetto title. However, they did win the Supercoppa Italiana, beating Bologna in the final. Having won eight of their last nine Serie A opening matches, the visitors will be the favourites to come away with a victory.
Genoa, meanwhile, have beaten their opponents from Naples just once in their last 26 league meetings. The Rossoblu barely secured their top-flight status, finishing 16th last season, and will need a significant amount of luck if they are to avoid a heavy defeat tonight.
