Napoli vs Genoa

Napoli conceded two goals in a home Serie A match for the first time since last November — when they lost 3-0 to Atalanta.

Since his debut Serie A season (2019/20), Romelu Lukaku has scored the most goals against Genoa in the competition — eight goals in eight matches.

Napoli and Genoa have drawn three of their last four Serie A meetings — as many draws as in their previous 13 top-flight encounters.

After five consecutive defeats between 2007 and 2009, Napoli have lost only two of their last 28 matches against Genoa in Serie A, winning 18 and drawing eight. Across this period (from 2010 onwards), only against Sampdoria have the Neapolitans recorded more victories (21).

Genoa are winless in their last 13 away games against Napoli in Serie A (D5 L9) – the Ligurians' last away success against the Azzurri was in February 2009 (1-0, goal by Bosko Jankovic) - only against four teams have the Rossoblu a longer ongoing run of consecutive away matches without a victory in the competition: Inter (18), Juventus (21), Roma (22) and Fiorentina (26).

Genoa have not won against the side starting the day in first place of Serie A since March 2019: 2-0 at the Ferraris, against Juventus, with goals from Stefano Sturaro and Goran Pandev (under Cesare Prandelli); since then, two draws and six defeats, including the last such game against Inter in March 2024 (1-2).

Napoli have won their last four league games without conceding a goal and they could record five consecutive wins without conceding for the first time in their history in Serie A (also 4 in 2023, 1990 and 1934).

Genoa have lost their last three league games and could suffer four consecutive defeats in Serie A for the first time since December 2021, under Andriy Shevchenko.
