Our prediction for this Serie A match:
Genoa
Match Time & Date:
29/08/2021
18:30
Prediction: 1-1
Napoli
After surviving Venezia with ten men on the field in their opener (2-0), Napoli will be looking to keep their 100% record intact when they take on Genoa at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Attacker Victor Osimhen is banned for the match following his sending off in the triumph over Venezia, while Piotr Zielinski is out of contention through injury. Since Dries Mertens remains in the recovery room as well, away win should not be considered.
A man to watch in the away team will be Lorenzo Insigne, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend. The Rossoblu suffered a heavy 4-0 loss at Inter in their opener, but seeing that they are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw this time out. The good news for the hosts is that both Mattia Bani and Valon Behrami return to contention after serving their bans in the defeat to Inter.
