Genoa is a transformed team under Davide Ballardini and could cause an upset against a Napoli side between Coppa Italia semi-finals.
This is Ballardini’s fourth different stint at Marassi, and despite his on-going love-hate relationship with President Enrico Preziosi, he always delivers the goods. He’s lost just one of his seven Serie A games in charge, winning four and keeping for consecutive league clean sheets. Coach Davide Ballardini said his players ‘deserve praise’ and claims Kevin Strootman is a ‘role model’ for young players. Genoa beat Crotone 3-0 at the Ezio Scida and moved six points clear of the relegation zone. “It was possible thanks to the players and their quality. It’s thanks to them. Genoa has smart, experienced, and committed players. This is Genoa,” Ballardini told the media.
You can bet Genoa will be motivated for revenge after a 6-0 defeat in September, which happened in the middle of a massive COVID-19 outbreak at the club. “We have Strootman, we have two strikers who compete each-other and our opponents struggle to play against us,” he continued. “There are some important role models in the locker room, players like Strootman are examples for young footballers. He is a great footballer.”
Genoa (3-5-2): Perin; Masiello, Radovanovic, Criscito; Zappacosta, Zajc, Badelj, Strootman, Czyborra; Destro, Shomurodov

Gennaro Gattuso admits his squad is stretched very thin, especially after a 0-0 Coppa Italia semi-final draw with Atalanta, meaning it all goes down to the second leg on Wednesday in Bergamo. Dries Mertens and Fabian Ruiz are still out of action, with Victor Osimhen only managing a few minutes after his lengthy lay-off. The Partenopei shocked many by starting with a 3-4-3 formation, the first time Napoli has started a competitive match with three at the back since May 2013, and it successfully neutralized La Dea in a 0-0 draw. “Nobody is the favorite going up against Atalanta. They press you all over the field, combine physicality with great technique,” the coach told the media. “We did very well in defense, could’ve done more upfront, but then we know that we’re a bit short up there at the moment. I liked Victor Osimhen over the last few days, he’s getting back into shape. I’ve seen that Atalanta struggle a bit against a three-man defense, so we tried it out in one day in training and it worked pretty well.''
Hirving Lozano started as a False 9 flanked by Matteo Politano and Lorenzo Insigne, but barely created any chances. “I think Politano and Lozano should’ve been a bit closer to Insigne. I couldn’t start Andrea Petagna, if he gets hurt then what are we going to do? Will you and I put jerseys on and play? We’ve got nobody else left,” asked Gattuso. “Insigne had this knock to the calf, it hurt and we’ll evaluate it tomorrow. Dries Mertens is in Belgium and it’ll take a while longer. Fabian Ruiz is still positive for COVID, but if I’m not mistaken tomorrow is the 21st day since he first tested positive, so he can ask permission to train by himself at the ground and leave his house.”
Napoli (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Di Lorenzo, Manolas, Koulibaly, Mario Rui; Lobotka, Bakayoko; Lozano, Zielinski, L Insigne; Petagna
Suspended: None
Injured: Fabian Ruiz, Mertens

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
