SSC Napoli faces Genoa at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on February 7, 2026. Kick-off is set for 17:00 GMT, 12:00 EST. This Genoa vs SSC Napoli Serie A match holds big stakes for both clubs. Napoli sits third in the league, nine points behind leaders Inter Milan. Genoa, meanwhile, is down in 14th, only five points clear of the relegation zone. Every point matters here.
Napoli’s Defensive Rock Is Back
Big news for Napoli boss Antonio Conte. Defender Amir Rrahmani, born in 1994, is back from a muscular injury. He’s expected to start and lead the backline. This is a huge lift. Sources confirm Rrahmani’s recovery ahead of the match, as reported by Goal.com.
Napoli’s form without Rrahmani hasn’t been good. They lost six of nine matches when he was out. Five of those were Serie A defeats, and four came in the Champions League. That’s a clear pattern. Rrahmani missed time in September-October 2025 and again in January 2026.
Games against Juventus, Fiorentina, Copenhagen, and Chelsea were played without him. Conte gets a key element back at a critical time, his infirmary clearing out after a long injury list hurt performance. His leadership and solidity in defense are what Napoli needs.
Form, Stakes, and Viewing Options
Genoa comes into this game after a defeat to Lazio. That loss ended their five-match unbeaten run. They’ll want to bounce back. For Genoa, a win builds momentum and gives more distance from relegation. They need those points badly to stay safe in Serie A.
Napoli just snapped a three-match winless streak with a win over Fiorentina. They need to keep that winning feeling going. Chasing Inter Milan for the title means no room for error.
Other Serie A teams are watching closely, with the likes of Inter’s coach even scouting rivals, according to OneFootball. A win for Napoli helps their top-three push and keeps pressure on the league leaders.

Rrahmani’s return changes their defense for the better. His presence could be the difference against a gritty Genoa side looking for points.
Expect a hard-fought contest at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Both teams have a lot to play for. It’s going to be an interesting match, no doubt.
