Last season's corresponding fixture at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris was a thrilling contest, ending in a 3-2 victory for Napoli. Genoa's goals were scored by Ruslan Malinovsky and Lorenzo Colombo, but Napoli secured the win thanks to two goals from Rasmus Hojlund and one from Scott McTominay.

The match is set to kick off at 8:45 p.m. local time in Genova, Italy, and will be available for viewing in the United States and Italy.
