Fans who live the intensity of soccer!
Let's go guys!

The soccer players are about to finish the previous warm-up and in a few minutes the match will begin.

The fans are arriving at the stadium and the atmosphere is very good in the stands.

In the last match at this stadium, Genoa won 2-1 with a double from Goran Pandev and the discount from Matteo Politano. Although Napoli triumphed for the last time officially on September 27, 2020, in the categorical 6-0 stamped with two goals from Lozano, one from Piotr Zieliński, Dries Mertens, Eljif Elmas and Politano.

The Neapolitans have not triumphed at Luigi Ferraris since July 8 last year, when they achieved 2-1 with goals from Mertens, Chucky and the previous equality of Edoardo Goldaniga.

The eleven players sent by coach Spalletti:

The starting eleven for tonight:

 

The team where Chucky Lozano plays will seek to confirm the good start to the season after obtaining a 2-0 in favor against Venezia. The Neapolitans, in addition, knew their panorama in their participation in the Europa League, since they will share a group with Leicester City, Spartak Moscow and Legia Warsaw. Those commanded by Luciano Spalletti are still pending in the transfer market, where apparently they will not incorporate reinforcements.

V. Osimhen, who saw the red card on matchday 1, will not be able to play this match, which will mean a significant loss for the team.

The home team is looking to shake off the painful start that was losing in their visit to the last champion, Inter Milan, in the 4-0 final. Knowing that Felipe Caicedo could be a reinforcement as one of the Latin Americans on the squad to join the Mexican Johan Vásquez, those led by Davide Ballardini will seek recovery.

Genoa and Napoli will meet this Sunday at the Luigi Ferraris Stadium, with the extra ingredient that Mexican players are active in both teams, although the confrontation between Johan Vásquez and Hirving Lozano will have to wait, as the defender will not have activity tonight.

The coach Davide Ballardini ruled out the debut of Johan Vásquez in the Italian league, assuring that due to the constant trips that the footballer has made it will be better to wait for a new opportunity for him to appear on the field.

The last five games between these two rivals have been even, with a balance of two wins, one loss and two draws in favor of Napoli. The last time both teams played in this competition was on February 6, 2021 and the match ended with a score of 2-1 in favor of Genoa.

Nicknamed "Lorenzo Il Magnifico," Insigne is a small, right-handed, skilled and quick left winger with a talent for scoring, who usually folds down the left in a 4–3–3 or 4–2–3. –1 in formation, allowing you to cut inside and curl shots on goal with your stronger foot.

He is a fundamental piece in Napoli and in the Italian National Team.

Forward Goran Pandev is a Macedonian footballer, already veteran but with a refined technique that is complemented by an interesting change of pace in speed and great physical power. He was considered the best player in his country and shares the captaincy. He was the second North Macedonian player to make it to Italian Serie A, after compatriot Darko Pancev who came to play for Inter Milan.
