Napoli

Under Walter Mazzarri's guidance in the current Serie A campaign, Napoli presents a pale shadow of their former selves. The resignation of the previous coach has not significantly aided the Neapolitans. Napoli still resides in mid-table, without much hope of qualifying for the Champions League, although they have not dropped out of the race for European football just yet. The gap to Roma, who are in sixth position, is only three points. Last weekend, Napoli suffered a 0-1 defeat to Milan away. This defeat marked their second loss in the last five Serie A matches. Complicating matters is the fact that the Neapolitans will soon have to compete on several fronts, as the Champions League playoffs loom.

Genoa

The "Grifoni" have built a solid buffer from the relegation zone and feel very confident, establishing themselves as a strong mid-table team in Serie A. With 29 points accumulated after 24 rounds, the "red-blues" are ten points clear of the relegation zone occupied by Verona. However, Genoa's recent results have not been particularly inspiring. For example, last weekend Alberto Gilardino's side faced Atalanta at home and suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 1-4. This result ended Genoa's unbeaten streak in Serie A, which had lasted for eight matches. It's worth mentioning that Genoa hasn't lost in four consecutive away Serie A games.

Interesting facts about the match and personal meetings
