Napoli Aims to Rebound Against Struggling Genoa

NAPLES, Italy — Napoli hosts Genoa on October 5, 2025, hoping to bounce back from a recent loss and maintain their strong start to the Serie A season. The match will take place at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona at 12:00 PM ET.

In their last league outing, Napoli suffered a 2-1 defeat against AC Milan, ending their winning streak. Head Coach Antonio Conte’s team has previously won all four of their opening games in the 2025-26 season, scoring ten goals and conceding just five.

Meanwhile, Genoa has struggled this season, sitting at the bottom of the Serie A table with only two points from five matches. The team, led by Patrick Vieira, has failed to secure a victory and recently lost 3-0 at home to Lazio.

Johan Vásquez stands out as Genoa’s top player, having been named the best in the squad last season. The Mexican defender has played 131 Serie A games, with 65 for Genoa. In contrast, Napoli’s new signing Kevin De Bruyne continues to impress, bringing a wealth of experience and skill after joining from a European club.

Historically, Napoli holds an advantage over Genoa, having won 41 of their previous 104 encounters. The last match ended in a 1-1 draw on May 11 at the conclusion of last season.

The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, with a capacity of 55,000, is rich in football history and has hosted numerous prestigious events. Fans from various countries can catch the match live on platforms such as Paramount+, fuboTV, and Disney+.

As Napoli looks to reclaim their winning form, they will face a determined Genoa side eager to rise from the bottom of the table.
