The race for the top four in the Serie A is set to rage on to the last game. There have been a lot of pundits guessing who would make it into the top four and others feeling like it is just too tight to call. However, when Napoli welcomes Genoa to their home stadium, there would be none of that at stake. Instead, it would be a match which is played by two teams who really have absolutely nothing to lose in the league. However, the pride of both teams promises to make this match a fascinating one.

Napoli

Napoli would not be happy with how this season has gone. When they almost took the trophy away from Juventus in the prior season, many people would have thought that they would build upon their amazing season. However, they have taken a step back. While they are still placed 2nd in the league, they are currently 21 points away from leaders Juventus with 8 games to go. After this game against Genoa, it may become mathematically impossible for them to stop Juventus from claiming yet another title. They would, however, be sure of champions league football and would be looking forward to their quarterfinals with the English team Arsenal

Genoa

Genoa is a team who consider themselves safe for now. When you do not end up in the top half of the table, your main concern would be to stay away from the relegation zone for as long as you can. Genoa is currently in 13th in the league with just 33 points. They remain 5 points away from the relegation zone and would consider themselves safe regardless of how this match goes. However, a lot can change in 7 matches and Genoa would be hoping to pick up sufficient points in order to aid their goal of staying in the league.

Form

The form of teams is usually considered in order to find out who has the momentum going into this game. For Napoli, they have won three of their last six games. The remaining matches have ended in two losses and a single draw. After their shock loss to Empoli, Napoli would be looking to make amends in a league which is already decided at the earliest possible date. There is very little to play for at this point.

For Genoa, on the other hand, they have won just a game out of the last six games that have been played. The remaining matches have ended in three losses and two draws. They are currently on a two-match losing streak and things look really shaky, to say the least. Genoa would want to get back to winning ways as soon as they can in order to make sure that they are present in the league next season.

It promises to be a wonderful game as both teams would want to win this game. However, this game would ultimately be decided by who wants it the most.
