Round 24 - Serie A
Genoa CFC VS SSC Napoli
Stadio Luigi Ferraris
8 February, 2026
Overview:
Serie A Round 24 fixture between Genoa (17th, relegation contention) and Napoli (3rd, Champions League contention). Napoli dominant in recent head-to-head, unbeaten in last 6 meetings. Significant quality gap between teams with contrasting form trajectories.
Recent H2H results: Napoli 2-1 Genoa (2025-10-05)
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Napoli.
Napoli's ball possession dominance (69% in recent fixture) and superior pressing should overwhelm Genoa's limited attacking resources. Genoa requires defensive solidity and counter-attacking opportunities. Napoli's established superiority in this fixture suggests controlled dominance likely.
Historical head-to-head record (Napoli 19 wins vs Genoa 7 in 37 meetings), current league positions (19th vs 3rd), form differential, and recent fixture result all strongly favor Napoli. Genoa's relegation fight provides minimal motivation against superior opponent.
