Genoa vs Napoli Predictions
Napoli can make Allegri’s first league game count
Napoli lost only eight of their 38 Serie A matches last season, despite finishing well short of Inter in the title race. Their response has included a change in the dugout, with Massimiliano Allegri replacing Antonio Conte ahead of the new campaign.
Rasmus Hojlund and Alisson Santos have also arrived this summer. Gabriel Jesus, Joshua Zirkzee and Nicolas Jackson have been linked with moves to Naples, although none of that trio is expected to sign in time for Saturday.
Genoa offer a much weaker set of results from last term. Daniele De Rossi’s side won only ten league games and finished 35 points behind Napoli, while Jeff Ekhator has since moved to Juventus.
Napoli also beat Genoa home and away last season and are unbeaten in their last eight meetings with the Rossoblu. With those results providing a clear edge at the start of a new Serie A season, I’m backing Napoli to Win at 1.83.

Recent meetings leave room for another high-scoring Napoli victory
Nine of the last ten meetings between Genoa and Napoli have produced over 2.5 goals, making high-scoring results a recurring feature of this fixture.
The result side of the scoreline also has firm recent evidence. Napoli won both league meetings last season and finished 35 points above Genoa, while their unbeaten run against the hosts now stands at eight matches.
Genoa managed only ten Serie A victories last term, and the summer departure of Jeff Ekhator gives De Rossi another change to absorb. Napoli, meanwhile, have added Hojlund and Alisson Santos as Allegri begins his first league campaign in charge.
With nine of the previous ten meetings clearing three goals and Napoli winning both encounters last season, Napoli 3-1 could be worth a look at 17.00.
