Genoa — Napoli Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups — 7 February 2026
On February 7, 2026, in Matchday 24 of the Italian Serie A, Genoa will host Napoli. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 Central European Time. Let’s take a closer look at the potential outcome of this clash.
Genoa
Genoa come into this match in fairly decent form. Despite losing their last game away to Lazio 2-3, the team had previously gone five matches unbeaten, with two wins and three draws. In the league table, Genoa currently sit 14th, six points clear of the relegation zone.
At home, the team’s form is not particularly convincing: three wins, four draws, and five losses in 12 matches this season. However, they have gone three home games unbeaten in a row, with two wins and one draw. Genoa are now focused solely on Serie A after being eliminated from the Coppa Italia in the round of 16, losing 0-4 to Atalanta.
When it comes to home matches against Napoli, Genoa have historically struggled. In their last seven home games against Napoli, they have managed just one win, one draw, and five losses. These encounters have generally been high-scoring affairs, all these games finishing with over 2.5 goals and goals from both teams.
Napoli
Napoli come into this match not in the best form and mood. The team won their last game 2-1 against Fiorentina, ending a poor run of three matches without a win across all competitions. During that rough patch, Napoli drew with Copenhagen and lost to Chelsea in the Champions League, which eliminated them from the knockout stage. They also suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat to Juventus in Serie A.
Currently, Napoli sit 3rd in the league table, nine points behind leaders Inter. On the road, the team has been fairly solid this season, with six wins, one draw, and five losses — the fifth-best away record in the league. With their Champions League campaign over, Napoli are now fully focused on Serie A and the Coppa Italia, where they will face Como in the quarterfinal next week.
In head-to-head matchups against Genoa, Napoli clearly have the upper hand. They are unbeaten in the last seven encounters, with four wins and three draws. Notably, six of those seven matches featured over 2.5 goals, and both teams scored in six of the seven games.
