Genoa – Napoli match preview
By: j | October 3rd, 2008Following a late come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Ravenna in the Coppa Italia, the Rossoblu welcome
Napoli to Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Edoardo Reja’s club has been one of the great surprises of the early Serie A season, maintaining their unbeaten string with tactically brilliant Football.
Gian Piero Gasperini is dealing with a host of injuries that will have a dramatic impact upon the lineup. Match-time fitness tests will determine the eventual lineup but Genoa is likely to be without Matteo Ferrari, Alessandro Potenza and Andrea Gasbarroni with Omar Milanetto, Raffaele Palladino and Diego Milito questionable.
Presuming the striking group is healthy I am expecting Genoa to use the following lineup in a 3-4-3:
Rubinho
Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Giuseppe Biava, Domenico Criscito
Marco Rossi/Giandomenico Mesto, Anthony Vanden Borre/Omar Milanetto, Ivan Jurić, Francesco Modesto/Boško Janković
Andrea Gasbarroni/Raffaele Palladino, Diego Milito, Giuseppe Sculli
This match will be won in the midfield. Napoli’s midfield quintet of Francesco Montervino, Manuele Blasi, Walter Gargano, Marek Hamšík and Daniele Mannini has stifled attacking forays in each of their five Serie A matches and will look to slow Genoa on Sunday.
I will report on the match as it concludes.

Hi J… thanks for the compliments about Napoli. I look forward to the Genoa games every year, as Gasperini is a great tactician and the games are usually close and entertaining. The two teams have celebrated together a lot over the last two years. Hopefully Sunday the teams can put on a spectacle that will make all Serie A fans stand and notice.
