Napoli - Genoa

Milan's victory in Verona on Sunday night put an end to even the mathematical hopes that Napoli had to win the scudetto. The difference went to 7 points two games before the end so a finish for the "partenopei".

At least the Neapolitans have secured their return to the Champions League groups and the only goal they may have in mind there in the south is to finish in 3rd place, ie above the hated Juventus. Napoli with their victory in Turin over the "garnet" increased the difference to 4 points after the defeat of the "Bianconeri" in Genoa, so it has the opportunity to make a gift to Genoa that is burning for points.

As I wrote in the analysis of the match Torino - Napoli, two teams that have excellent relations with the team of Genoa, Napoli would take the three points to give them to the team with the fans whose own are twinned.

The very good relations between the two teams are known in Italy and Genoa, which is now penultimate with 28 points, must surpass Salernitana in the rating in these last two games. Cagliari's goal-draw in the delays in the Salerno match was a great relief for Genoa, which is now 2 points away from the newly enlightened team of southern Italy. In fact, he needs a point more to be saved since he does not have an advantage in the tie, something that he has against Cagliari as in such a case the results count.

Genoa's fourth victory this year came with a reversal against Juventus in 87 'and 95' with a penalty. While watching the match, I realized that many people do not want the historic team of Genoa to be relegated, after all, they prefer to stay in it rather than traveling next year to the distant Salerno.

In the foreign book the double had opened at about 9 points but very quickly took the downhill. In Greece it started at 4.90 and will probably decline here as well. The good thing for Genoa is that Cagliari is playing with Inter, which will claim the title until the last game, so except for Cagliari, it will stay at 29 points this game and then it must hope not to get more than one point. Salernitana against Empoli and Udinese.

If Napoli play the match evenly then the guest has no hopes. Napoli to lose, even in the last game of Lorenzo Insigne in the stadium that was glorified, seems drawn to me. If I found the double at 7 or 8 points I would dare. Now I will be content with 2.25 of the double chance.
