Second-running SSC Napoli (6-1-3, 21 points) is on a nine-game unbeaten streak in the 2015-2016 Serie A season and they will look to prolong it against struggling team Genoa CFC (3-5-2, 11 points) who had won only two of their last six matches. The match will be held at Genoa's Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday, November 1st.
Genoa managed to force a draw against Torino at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino on Wednesday with an injury time goal by winger Diego Laxalt, who also opened the scoring at the 26th minute to complete a double in the game, via ESPN.
Torino led 3-2 at the one minute before full time after an own goal by I Rossoblu midfielder Panagiotis Tachtsidis but thanks to Laxalt's final minute heroics the team salvaged a point in the league table.
Meanwhile, Napoli is currently on a rampage this season, dominating their opponents ever since their opening day loss to Sassuolo back in August.
Their last game was a 2-0 blanking of Palermo at their home turf of Stadio San Paolo also on Wednesday to extend their winning run to five games, as reported by Football Italia.
As usual, Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuaín scored the opening goal at the 39th while teammate Dries Mertens added another one late in the second half at the 80th to cap the decisive victory for Maurizio Sarri's side.
There is no stopping the Partenopei freight train and another blowout win for Gli Azzurri is waiting to happen in Genoa this Sunday.
The predicted result is a 4-0 romp for Napoli.
Genoa starting lineup (3-4-3 formation): Perin; Izzo, Munoz, Ansaldi; Figueiras, Rincon, Costa, Laxalt; Ntcham, Pavoletti, Perotti
Napoli starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): Reina; Soderlund, Albiol, Chiriches, Ghoulam; Lopez, Jorginho, Hamsik; Callejon, Higuaín, Insigne
