Preview: Genoa vs Napoli Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Serie A 2025-26
Can Antonio Conte reduce his team’s nine-point difference with table toppers Inter Milan?
Matchweek 24 of the Serie A takes us to the Luigi Ferraris in Genoa, where the home team, Genoa are set to lock horns against SSC Napoli.
Genoa are placed 14th in the Serie A points table and are coming after a recent defeat to Lazio in the last game. They are led by Italian coach Daniele De Rossi, who has previously been at the helm of teams such as AS Roma and the Italy national team.
The reigning Italian champions are nine points behind table toppers Inter, and they badly need a win to fight for the top honour domestically. After a dismal campaign in the UEFA Champions League, all eyes will be on Antonio Conte to deliver results in the Italian top flight.
Kick-off:

- Stadium: Luigi Ferraris Arena
- Date: Saturday, February 7
