Genoa 1-2 Napoli

Current streaks

Recent form

Genoa

Genoa have shown impressive resilience in their recent form, remaining unbeaten in their last six matches with two wins and four draws. Their defensive solidity is particularly noteworthy, having kept four clean sheets and conceding only three goals in this period, averaging a mere 0.5 goals conceded per game. The team's defensive prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals. While Genoa's attacking output has been modest, with six goals scored across these six games, their ability to grind out results has been crucial in their climb to 13th position in Serie A. The 2-2 draw against Cagliari stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run, but overall, Genoa's matches have been characterised by tight, low-scoring affairs, with both teams scoring in only 33% of the games.

Napoli

Napoli have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins interrupted by back-to-back losses against Lazio in both Serie A and Coppa Italia. Despite these setbacks, the Partenopei have maintained a strong position in the league table, currently sitting second with 35 points from 16 games. Their defensive record has been particularly impressive, conceding only one goal per game on average in their last six matches and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat subdued, scoring just 1.17 goals per game during this period. The recent 3-1 victory against Udinese stands out as their highest-scoring game in this run, suggesting a potential return to form for Napoli's attacking prowess. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters.

Recent home/away form

Genoa

Genoa have struggled to find form at home recently, failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris. The Rossoblu have drawn four and lost two of these games, with their last home win coming prior to this run. Defensively, Genoa have been inconsistent, managing only one clean sheet in their recent home fixtures. However, they've shown resilience in attack, scoring in four out of the six matches. The team's goal-scoring average of 0.83 per game at home is a concern, particularly when compared to the 1.5 goals they concede on average. Interestingly, half of Genoa's recent home games have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, suggesting a mix of tight contests and more open affairs.

Napoli

Napoli have shown impressive form away from home, winning four of their last six matches on the road. The Partenopei have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just five goals in these six away games, averaging less than a goal conceded per match. Their attack has been potent, scoring nine goals in total, with a notable 3-1 victory against Udinese in their most recent away fixture. Interestingly, Napoli have managed to secure wins against some tough opposition, including a 2-0 triumph over AC Milan at the San Siro. Despite a setback in the Coppa Italia with a 3-1 loss to Lazio, Napoli's overall away performance has been solid, with 67% of their matches seeing under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for tighter, more controlled games on their travels.
