๐ Team News: Genoa
Ridgeciano Haps (Fibula Fracture), Alessandro Vogliacco (Thigh Problems) and Junior Messias (Unknown Injury) wonโt be able to feature for Genoa boss Alberto Gilardino.
We think that Il Grifone will possibly kick off with a 4-4-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Josep Martinez, Koni De Winter, Mattia Bani, Radu Dragusin, Aaron Caricol, Stefano Sabelli, Milan Badelj, Kevin Strootman, Morten Frendrup, Albert Gudmundsson and Mateo Retegui.
โน๏ธ Team News: Napoli
Owing to a fully injury-free group ready to go, the Napoli manager Rudi Garcia has zero fitness concerns whatsoever before this game.
Thereโs a good chance that Partenopei might make use of a 4-3-3 formation, settling for Alex Meret, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Leo Oestigard, Juan Jesus, Mario Rui, A. Zambo Anguissa, Stanislav Lobotka, Piotr Zielinski, Eljif Elmas, Victor Osimhen and K. Kvaratskhelia.
๐ก Prediction
Our assessment is that Genoa have the firepower to breach the defence of this SSC Napoli lineup, although just one goal might not quite be enough to give them the result that they want.
Weโre therefore expecting a 1-2 advantage for SSC Napoli at the end of the match. Letโs see what eventuates.
