Prediction
Although the home side problems plaguing Naples, a victory at home against Genoa team struggled to be a formality. Dries Mertens can create goals from seemingly no and more than able to describe his qualities attack against Genoa, especially with the famous strike force consisting of Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon and - since the arrival of summer - Chucky Lozano.
Despite playing attractive football under Motta, il Vecchio Balordo have especially struggled away from home, conceding 17 goals in five matches to go without winning a single one of those games.
Consider the account scoring ability Napoli and Genoa defensive fragility, a Napoli win seems the most likely outcome on Saturday night, the Naples side needing a win to keep pace with league leaders Juventus.
Prediction: Napoli 3-1 Genoa
