Stadio Diego Armando Maradona - Naples
Napoli (W10 D3) is one of only three teams unbeaten in home matches in the calendar year 2025 in the Big-5 European leagues (excluding newly promoted clubs), with Liverpool and Monaco.
Napoli have picked up at least 15 points after six Serie A games of a season for the first time since 2021/22 (18 in that case).
Napoli have won a match in Serie A by a losing position for the first time since 25th January 2025 against Juventus (2-1 also in that case).
Genoa have won only one of their last 24 Serie A matches against Napoli (D8 L15): 2-1 on February 6, 2021 (a brace from Goran Pandev and a goal from Matteo Politano); furthermore, the Rossoblu have conceded an average of 2.3 goals per game in their nine most recent matches against the Partenopei.
Napoli are unbeaten in each of their last 15 home games against Genoa in Serie A (W9 D6) - only against Hellas Verona (20) do they have a longer unbeaten home run among their current opponents in the competition.
Three of the last four Serie A matches between Napoli and Genoa have ended in draws (with a Napoli win completing the streak), as many draws as in the previous 13 meetings between the two teams.
With the 2-1 defeat against Milan, Napoli ended a run of 16 consecutive unbeaten matches in Serie A (W11 D5); the last time they recorded two consecutive league defeats was in December 2023, under Walter Mazzarri.
With just two points from their first five matchdays, Genoa have equaled their worst start in Serie A in the three-point-for-a-win era: two points also in 2017/18, a season in which they still finished 12th.
