Napoli and Genoa face off in an intriguing Serie A battle at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona with both sides vying to bounce back from defeats in the league.
Napoli's defense of the Scudetto has not gone according to plan with the reigning champions hovering around mid-table. The side lost to Stefano Pioli's AC Milan during their visit to the San Siro last week as the Azzurri continue their hunt for revival before their marquee contest against Barcelona in the UCL next week.
Genoa, on the other hand, are four spots behind Napoli as they were dismantled by Atalanta during their last outing in the Serie A. Genoa could add more misery to Napoli's disastrous campaign with a win and also be seeded three points away from the home side.

Napoli would be bolstered by the return of Alex Meret after the Italian shot-stopper's injury stint but he could forced to a bench appearance with Atalanta-loanee Pierluigi Gollini getting a go-ahead once again.
Juan Jesus will miss Genoa's visit to the Diego Maradona Stadium with the defender suspended for the encounter while Mario Rui will return from his suspension, and the latter's resurgence could dump former Salernitana employee Pasquale Mazzocchi to the bench.
