Eight places separate Genoa and Napoli in the Serie A table heading into gameweek four's game at Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Saturday.

Alberto Gilardino's team have picked up three points from an available nine, with Rudi Garcia's side losing their 100% record to Lazio before the international break.

As for Napoli, Garcia's men were brought back to earth before the international break after two victories to start the season.

Lazio beat Napoli 2-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium despite starting the game slowly and playing the entire first half on the back foot.

The Partenopei got into several promising situations but could not capitalise on an evening when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen could not come up trumps.

Even if his second year in Naples has been slowed down by injuries, Kvaradona's form in the concluding weeks of last season inspired little confidence — the Georgian remains without a league goal since March, a penalty against Torino.

Garcia's team travel to Genoa seeking another victory over a new side in Serie A, having already defeated Frosinone.
