Oh boy, get your popcorn ready folks because we’ve got a sizzler of a game on our hands with Genoa and Napoli about to lock horns.
If we dissect their best performers, Napoli has Giovanni Di Lorenzo pulling the strings from the back with his precise passing, while Frank Anguissa embeds a dangerous offensive threat from the midfield area. To top it off, Romelu Lukaku and Scott McTominay are lurking up top, each showing their threat in front of the goal. Their goalkeeper, Alex Meret, despite having fewer saves, holds firm with a robust rating of 7.10.
Switching gears to Genoa now, where Nicola Leali has been busy in goal with more than a couple of great saves. Coming to the guys up on the pitch - Morten Frendrup stands out with good scoring knack while Andrea Pinamonti adds further striking power. They might not be brandishing big names like Napoli, but dismissing them would be folly.
Now if we stroll down the memory lane, the previous meetings between both sides have ended in deadlocks, speaking volumes about the closely fought battles on the field. But looking at the recent form, Napoli seems to hold the ace with their sequence of victories, apart from a minor hiccup against Lazio - whereas, Genoa has been involved in a string of hair-raising draws, coupled with sporadic wins.
Now for the prediction, it’s worth remembering that a stopped clock is right two times a day, and in a football match, anything can happen. However, given Napoli's superior squad and their dominating form they should come out on top.
