Genoa take on the visitors Napoli at the Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris in the 12th tour of the Serie A TIM. The match will be played in the eponymous city Genoa on Saturday, November 10th.
Genoa looked pretty poor in their last Serie A TIM fixtures. I Rossoblu have been on a downswing recently even though they had a great track record in the start of the season. The team of Ivan Juric could justify those failures though with a tough schedule. For example, they have faced such teams as Internazionale, Milan, Juventus, Parma and Udinese all recently. Now Il Grifone have to face Napoli. Last tour Genoa lost to Internazionale with a 0-5 score and that was a horrible result for them. Quite frankly, they deserved on conceding less goals than five. It`s worth noting that two of those five goals were allowed by Genoa in the additional time to the second half. The key striker of the team Krzysztof Piatek has been struggling to score recently even though he had been on a roll in the start of the 2018/2019 Serie A TIM. It`s worth noting that Il Vecchio Balordo have already had five games in front of their home crowd this season and have lost only one first half out of five in those fixtures. That happened in their home game against Parma when the team from Genoa scored only one goal and conceded three. In their last three matches overall Genoa lost to Internazionale with a 0-5 score, to Milan with a 1-2 score and drew against Udinese with a 2-2 score.

Obviously, Napoli are in a great shape right now. They show a great playing style every match and possess a deep solid squad. The new head coach of the team Carlo Ancelotti constantly tries to improve every aspect of potential success for the Partenopei. However, now they have to face Genoa two days after their tough Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain. Gli Azzurri have already had five away fixtures this Serie A TIM season and have won only two first halves out of five in them. That happened against such offensive teams as Torino and Udinese for the team of Carlo Ancelotti. Now though the team from Naples will have to face a fully defensive Genoa and will probably struggle playing against them. Furthermore, they left a lot of their energy in their Round 4 fixture of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain. In their last three matches overall Napoli drew against Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-1 score in their UEFA Champions League group stage fixture, beat Empoli with a 5-1 score and drew against Roma with a 1-1 score.
Obviously, Napoli are a better team than Genoa at the moment and they are likely to get a victory in the upcoming fixture. However, the physical condition of the Partenopei will not allow them to win the first half of the game on Saturday already. It is likely that I Rossoblu will not lose the first half of the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Genoa to win with 0 handicap in the first half.
