Genoa will be eager to make a strong start to their Serie A campaign when they welcome Napoli to Stadio Luigi Ferraris. However, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win as Napoli were scoring goals for fun in preseason. The Rossoblu head into the opener boosted by a 4-1 Coppa Italia win over Ascoli, although their recent form has been inconsistent, with three victories from their last 10 matches. Djibril Sow, signed from Sevilla, is their most notable summer addition, while forward Jeff Ekhator has joined Juventus.
Napoli, meanwhile, will be full of confidence after hammering Aris 6-2 in their final warm-up game. The Partenopei have won six of their last 10 matches and scored 2.20 goals per game during that period. Rasmus Hojlund has joined permanently, while Romelu Lukaku has moved to Fenerbahce. Napoli also managed to retain key players Scott McTominay and Kevin De Bruyne, strengthening their title credentials. The visitors have dominated this fixture historically, winning 20 of 34 meetings.
As Napoli have the superior squad and recent preseason form, our main prediction leans toward Away Win, alongside Hojlund to Score and Over 2.5 goals (59% of previous H2Hs produced at least three goals).
This Serie A match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 19:45.
