LiontipsGenoa vs Napoli. Prediction and Betting Tips for Serie A (August 29, 2021).
Command Analysis
Genoa have played two games this season and have left a mixed impression. Davide Ballardini's men got a strong-willed victory over Perugia in Coppa Italia. They conceded two early goals by the 10th minute but impressively turned the game around (3:2).
In the opening round of Serie A, the Griffins paid a visit to Inter Milan. The game was fairly equal, but Genoa just couldn't find the back of the net. As a result, the reigning champion crushed the Griffins 4:0.
Napoliwon all their matches under Luciano Spaletti in the preseason, including the victory over Bayern (3:0). In the opening game of Serie A, Napoli hosted the newly promoted Venezia.
In the 23rd minute, Victor Osimhen received a red card, and the team was left shorthanded. However, Napoli kept playing from a position of strength. In the second half, it paid off and the hosts scored twice and earned the first three points in the season (2:0)

Tip and bets
Napoli have looked solid in all their pre-season matches and were impressive against Venezia last week. But there are many injured men in the squad, including such key players as Dries Mertens and Diego Demme. Victor Osimhen is disqualified and Piotr Zieliński's appearance in this fixture is doubtful. This might give the hosts a chance. Genoa need to score points, so we expect them to use Napoli's situation to their advantage. Genoa rarely lose at home, and in the last 15 home games they only once lost with a difference of more than one goal.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Genoa.
Both teams scored in the last four head-to-head games in Genoa. The visitors' attack is strong even without the injured players, and Genoa can use the home advantage and score against Napoli. We expect open football and goals scored by both opponents.
Second wager - both to score.
