Napoli vs Genoa PREVIEW & PREDICTION 27/09/2020

On Sunday, starting with 14:00, the match Napoli – Genoa will be played, within the second round of the new season of Serie A.

Napoli comes after a clear victory, score 2-0, registered on the field of AC Parma. In the dispute over “Ennio Tardini”, Victor Osimhen (eg Lille) entered the field in the 61st minute and managed a sensational match. In this sense, the Italian press considers him a favorite at the expense of Dries Mertens for the first 11, especially in the context in which Napoli will play a 4-3-3, the 4-2-3-1 system being at least one that risks -a duel with Genoa, a team that defends itself on several lines.

On the other hand, the team prepared by Rolando Maran comes after a surprising victory in the first stage, 4-1 at home against Crotone. On the list of scorers on “Luigi Ferraris” were also found the newcomers Davide Zappacosta and Marko Pjaca. In view of the duel with Napoli, we must emphasize that Genoa will be able to use 3 extra players compared to the duel in the first round: Andrea Masiello and Franceso Cassata return after suspensions, while Luca Pellegrini can finally be used after he was borrowed from Juventus.

After all the aspects mentioned above, it is logical to expect a duel in which the successes will make their presence felt. In this context, we have prepared 2 bets on goals, which can be won regardless of the name of the team that will be imposed.

Napoli (4-3-3): Meret – Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui – Fabian Ruiz, Demme, Zielinski – Lozano, Osimhen, Insigne;

Genoa (3-5-2): Perin – Biraschi, Goldaniga, Masiello – Ghiglione, Lerager, Badelj, Zajc, Zappacosta – Pandev, Destro.

-Both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 direct matches;
