Genoa

In Serie A, Genoa started with a crushing 4:1 home defeat from Fiorentina. Genoa surprised everyone by beating Lazi in the second round 1:0 in Rome. In the third match, Alberto Gilardino's wards came close to picking up points but were only seconds away from a draw with Torino - at 90+4, Torino scored into the Genoa goal and won 1:0. It was a disappointing failure. Still, three points from three games is a good result for a team that has just returned to the top flight.

Napoli

Napoli began their title defense with two confident victories. First, the team, now coached by Rudi Garcia instead of Luciano Spalletti, defeated Frosinone on the road (3:1) and then Sassuolo at home (2:0). The Neapolitans approached the home match of the third round against Lazio as clear favorites. Still, unexpectedly, they did not win or even achieve a draw. 1:2 - the Romans responded to Zieliński's goal with goals from Luis Alberto and Kamada to take three points from Naples despite losing to Lecce and Genoa at the start of the championship.

Expert Betting Tips

Although they won, Genoa showed nothing special in the first three rounds. The team plays a defensive game and could be more offensive, and the victory over Lazio is mainly a problem for the Roman team. By the way, the Genoese created dangerous chances for only 0.51 expected goals. Besides, Rudi Garcia's team is in good shape and has won both matches against inferior competitors at the beginning of the season.
