In the 24th round of the Italian Serie A on February 7, 2026, a match will take place between Genoa and Napoli. The hosts need points to move away from the relegation zone, while the visitors are aiming to keep their chances of retaining the title alive.
Our Prediction for Genoa vs Napoli
The club from Genoa improved last season after the coaching change from Gilardino to Vieira – ultimately finishing thirteenth with 43 points. This season, Patrick himself was replaced by De Rossi in 2025, which also had a positive effect. Their spirited 3-2 win against Bologna is a testament to that! However, in the most recent round, they lost to Lazio by the reverse score.
In Naples, Conte won the race against Inter for the “scudetto” at the first attempt. In January, he also added the Italian Supercup to his achievements. But not everything went smoothly in other competitions. In the Champions League, the Italians underperformed – failing to reach the playoffs after losing to Chelsea in the final match. Even Cagliari were beaten at home only in a penalty shootout in the cup. In January’s Serie A fixtures, there were three consecutive draws. They even lost 0-3 to Juventus. Only against Fiorentina did they manage to win, though it was just 2-1.
Colombo and his teammates average 1.17 goals scored per game, conceding a third more – 1.48. The reigning champions average 1.43 goals scored and only 0.91 conceded per match.
