Napoli square off against Genoa at the Stadio San Paolo this weekend and the match is set to be a keenly contested affair between two in-form outfits.
Napoli Match Betting News
Napoli managed to continue their pressure at the top of the table on Juventus by claiming a hard fought 1-0 victory over Palermo and at the current stage of the season, it is more important for Maurizio Sarri’s men to keep getting points on the board rather than think about performances.
Now Napoli will be intent on earning another three points this weekend in their relentless pursuit at the top of the table but it will be anything but straightforward for the Partenopei as they come up against Genoa, who are in a good run of form at the moment.
Napoli do not have too many injuries to contend with ahead of the clash but there is a huge concern as star striker Gonzalo Higuain is currently struggling with an ankle injury and is doubtful to participate.
Genoa Match Betting News
Genoa managed to exceed all expectations with a 6th placed finish last season and while they have not come close to matching such exploits during the current campaign, Grifone are set for a comfortable mid table finish this term as well.
Having won three of their last four matches, Genoa do not have to worry about relegation any longer and manager Gian Piero Gasperini will surely be urging his players to earn a top half place with a strong finish to the season.
Genoa have a host of tough games coming up though and the clash against title challenging Napoli away from home this weekend is sure to be a stern one. Alassane Tambe, Ezequiel Muñoz and Panagiotis Tachtsidis are the injury concerns ahead of the clash for Genoa.
Napoli vs Genoa Match Prediction
Genoa did hold Napoli to a 0-0 draw earlier on in the season but they have not managed to beat the Partenopei in over seven matches and as a result, the home side should head into the clash on Sunday as favourites.
The match will be a keenly contested affair but Napoli should have enough about them to claim another three points on the day.
