Napoli vs Genoa Prediction and Betting Tips | May 11th 2025
Napoli and Genoa will battle for three points in a Serie A round 36 clash on Sunday (May 11th). The game will be played at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
The home side will be looking to build on the 1-0 away win they registered over Lecce last weekend. Giacomo Raspadori's 24th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Genoa, meanwhile, let a one-goal lead slip in a 2-1 defeat at home to AC Milan. They went ahead through Vitinha's goal just past the hour mark, but Rafael Leao equalized in the 76th minute. Morten Frendrup's own goal less than sixty seconds later settled the contest.
The loss left the Rossoblù in 13th spot in the standings, having garnered 39 points from 35 games. Napoli lead the way at the summit with 77 points to their name.

Napoli vs Genoa Prediction
Napoli are marching towards a second league title in three years and hold a three-point advantage over second-placed Inter with three games to go. Furthermore, the Partenopei have an easier run-in, with all three games coming against sides currently in the bottom half. Antonio Conte's side have unsurprisingly been defensively resolute this season, having conceded just 25 goals - the lowest in the league - and kept 17 clean sheets.
Genoa have not finished in the top half of Serie A in a decade, and Patrick Vieira's side are winless in their last four league games, losing each of the last three on the bounce.
We are backing the home side to claim a routine victory and a clean sheet.
